I had been asked this question in final exam.
The doubt is from Colligative Properties and Determination of Molar Mass in portion Solutions of Chemistry – Class 12

Correct answer is (d) Osmosis
To explain I WOULD say: Osmosis is a mass transfer process due to which water MOLECULES MOVE from a REGION of higher water potential to lower water potential down the potential gradient. Dialysis and filtration are processes using the concept of diffusion of impurities. Shriveling is the SHRINKING of a cell. In this case, the cell swells up.
