Answer:

Explanation:

The movement of water is influenced by the location of albumin, which is in the plasma. So the answer is  b. Water by osmosis.

Osmosis refers to the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a low solute concentration (hypoosmotic) to a high solute concentration (hyperosmotic). Albumin, a large protein molecule, cannot easily pass through the capillary walls and contributes to the higher solute concentration in plasma compared to interstitial fluid. This difference in solute concentration drives the movement of water from the interstitial fluid to the plasma.
