Answer:

3. It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Explanation:

Diffusion can be defined as the movement of solute or gaseous molecules from the region in which they have higher concentration to the regions in which they have lower concentration until they become evenly distributed across the two regions.

Diffusion is a passive process, that is, it requires no energy.
