Answer: A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brownian motion is the random motion of a particle as a result of collisions with surrounding gaseous molecules. Diffusiophoresis is the movement of a group of particles induced by a concentration gradient. This movement always flows from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Example: The movement of pollen grains on still water. Motion of dust motes in a room (though largely influenced by air currents).
