D) Osmosis

Accepted Answer

Phagocytosis is the cellular process by which cells engulf microorganisms, foreign particles, or other cells. A is incorrect because anemia is a medical condition in which a person lacks enough healthy red blood cells to carry sufficient oxygen to the body's tissues. B is incorrect because mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. D is incorrect because osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
