Question

in the ------ process, pressure is used to push a water solution across a permeable membrane, which prevents large dissolved particles, such as salt, from passing through it.

a. electrolysis ed
b. filtration
c. reverse osmosis ro
d. osmosis

clear my choice

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Reverse osmosis (RO) uses pressure to push a water - solution across a semi - permeable membrane, preventing large dissolved particles like salt from passing through. Electrodes are involved in electrolysis (not relevant here). Filtration is a general term but not the specific process described. Osmosis is the natural movement of solvent across a membrane from low to high solute concentration, while reverse osmosis is the opposite, driven by external pressure.

Answer:

C. reverse osmosis RO
