Solution

The correct answer is (iv) Cell membrane, Endosmosis.

During osmosis, water molecules move across the cell membrane, which is a semi-permeable membrane. They move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This movement of water molecules into the cell is known as endosmosis.
