Response: Water molecules migrate from the dilute to the concentrated solution

Clarification:

During osmosis, when a solution is separated by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent (commonly water) moves from the less concentrated solution, regarding solute content, through the semipermeable membrane towards the solution with a higher concentration to balance the concentration levels between the two solutions.

Thus, in this scenario, water molecules flow from the 0.4M sugar solution to the 0.7M sugar solution through the semipermeable membrane.
