Minerals cannot be absorbed by osmosis because this

is the movement of water only. They cannot be

absorbed by diffusion, because the minerals are in very low concentration. Instead, active transport is used.

The correct answer is C
Assuming the question goes like this 👇
Water and mineral salts can be absorbed...
then the answer would have been B

it is option c because energy is required i.e active transport which needs energy derived from respiration, diffusion can also be considered

Active transport is the movement of solid materials across the plasma membrane.
