Solution

The type of passive transport that uses force to push fluid and small solutes through a membrane is Filtration.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Passive transport is a type of cellular transport where substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, which does not require energy.

  2. Filtration is a type of passive transport that uses hydrostatic pressure to push solutes from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.

  3. This process is commonly seen in the kidneys where blood pressure forces water and other small solutes to be filtered out of the blood and into the kidney tubules.

  4. Facilitated diffusion, exocytosis, apoptosis, and active transport are not correct because they either do not involve force pushing substances through a membrane, or they are not types of passive transport.

So, the correct answer is Filtration.
