Answer 1

A  -  Read below

Diffusion is simply particles spreading around. Think of it like spraying perfume in a room. Where the person sprayed the perfume would be a high concentration as there is a lot of that perfume there. However, on the other side of the room there would be little to no perfume. So the perfume spreads around until it is evenly distributed in the room.
