To identify the correct methods using passive transport, we need to consider what passive transport involves. Passive transport occurs when substances move across a cell membrane without the use of energy, typically following their concentration gradient.
1. **Method A**: Likely refers to diffusion or osmosis (common forms of passive transport).
2. **Method B**: Could involve facilitated diffusion, which is also passive.
3. **Method C**: If this method involves active processes like pumping molecules against their gradient, it would not be passive.
Given the typical definitions of passive transport:
- If Methods A and B are diffusion or facilitated diffusion, then the answer would be **Methods A and B**.
- If Method C is active transport, then it wouldn’t be passive.
Based on this reasoning, if Method A does involve a passive transport mechanism and Method B is also passive while Method C is not, the best answer would be **Methods A and B**.
