(a) - pinocytosis

(b) - osmosis

(c) - passive transport

(d) - transport

(e) - diffusion

(f) - phagocytosis

(b) - osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis -

In terms of biology, it is a form of diffusion, which is linked to the cells of the body.

The process of diffusion when the molecules and the atoms move from the region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration.
