The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

To solve this question, we need to match the concepts listed in List I with their correct descriptions in List II. Let's analyze each term one by one:

  1. Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution. Therefore, the correct match is "Solvent molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane towards solution side." Hence, A matches with III.
  2. Reverse Osmosis: In reverse osmosis, the process is reversed by applying pressure on the solution side, causing solvent molecules to pass through a semi-permeable membrane towards the pure solvent. Therefore, B matches with I.
  3. Electro-Osmosis: This is the movement of the dispersion medium under the influence of an electric field. Therefore, C matches with IV.
  4. Electrophoresis: Electrophoresis involves the movement of charged colloidal particles under an applied electric potential towards oppositely charged electrodes. Therefore, D matches with II.

After analyzing all the terms, the correct match is:

  • A - III
  • B - I
  • C - IV
  • D - II

Therefore, the correct answer is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
