 The smaller the particles, the faster they diffuse.

The size of diffusing particles directly affects the rate of diffusion. Smaller particles have a higher rate of diffusion compared to larger particles. This is because smaller particles have a higher surface-to-volume ratio, allowing them to move more rapidly and efficiently through the available space. They can navigate through smaller gaps and encounter less resistance from the surrounding medium, facilitating faster diffusion. In contrast, larger particles have a lower surface-to-volume ratio, leading to slower diffusion rates as they encounter more barriers and experience greater resistance during their movement.

Hence, option d is correct.
