c. Water will move into the beaker.
d. There will be no net movement of water.

Answer:

b

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that water will move into the bag.

The 0.2 M sucrose solution in the dialysis bad has a lesser water potential when compared to the distilled water that has no solutes. By law, water moves from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential. The dialysis bag will, hence, act as a semi-permeable membrane and allow water into the bad from the surrounding distilled water.

The correct option is b.
