Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides Therefore, the level of Y (region of higher concentration) would rise, X (region of lower concentration) would fall to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides

This explain osmosis
