Solution

Oxygen will diffuse from blood to the tissue.

This is because gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide move across membranes from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. In this case, the oxygen partial pressure in the blood is higher (100mmHg) than in the metabolically active tissue (40mmHg). Therefore, oxygen will diffuse from the blood (where it's at a higher pressure) into the tissue (where it's at a lower pressure).
