Two solutions A and B are separated by a semi- permeable membrane. As a result of osmosis, the level of solution A is found to rise. It implies that

A.Solution A is more concentrated than solution B✓ Correct
B.Solution B is more concentrated than solution A
C.The solute molecules of A are smaller than those
D.The solute molecules of B are smaller than those
Explanation

Fluid flows from lower to higher. Osmosis occur from dilute solution to concentrated solution. Therefore, the solution A is more concentrated than B.
