This question is really testing your knowledge of osmosis! The correct answer is A: boiled and peeled. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. A selectively permeable membrane is a membrane that lets some things pass through, but not others. In this case, a yam that is boiled and peeled has had its cell walls broken down by the boiling process, which makes the cells in the yam more permeable to water. So, water will be able to diffuse across the membrane and into the yam, a process known as osmosis.
