The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Reverse osmosis requires a semi-permeable membrane that allows solvent to pass but blocks solute.
The most common material used for this membrane is Cellulose Acetate.
Option (A) says "Cellulose acetone", which appears to be a typo for Cellulose Acetate found in the original exam paper (confirmed by Hindi version "Cellulose Acetate").
Options B, C, and D are chemical salts or carbohydrates not typically used as membrane films for RO.
Therefore, (A) is the intended correct answer.
