The sodium-potassium pump is an active transport - answer B. The pump uses ATP to move ions against their concentration gradient.

Answer:

The correct option is active transport.

Explanation:

  • This diagram describes the concentration of Na+ is higher outside than inside.
  • And Na+ is transported inside the cell via channel/transport protein.
  • There is also 1 ATP attached with Transport protein.
  • Attached ATP shows the use of energy.
  • So it is the transport of Na+ from high concentration to low concentration with the use of energy which is the process of active transport.
