The cell process that requires the use of energy is **B phagocytosis**.
Phagocytosis is a type of active transport where cells engulf large particles or other cells, which necessitates the use of energy. In contrast, the other processes listed (osmosis, passive transport, and facilitated diffusion) do not require energy as they occur along concentration gradients.
