During diffusion, solutes move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. This means that solutes will typically move from a hypertonic solution (higher concentration of solutes) to a hypotonic solution (lower concentration of solutes). Therefore, the correct answer is:

From hypertonic to hypotonic.
