Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. from Side A to Side B: Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of lower solute concentration (10%) to one of higher solute concentration (20%) to equalize the concentration.
B. from Side B to Side A: This would occur only if Side A had a higher solute concentration, which it doesn't.
C. there will be no movement of water: There’s a concentration gradient, so water will move.
D. water will move from B to A and A to B at equilibrium: Equilibrium implies equal concentrations, which is not the case initially.
