Which statement is best supported by the diagram?

• Oxygen molecules entered the cell over time by active transport.

• Water molecules are too large to enter or leave the cell, so they remained where they were at the start of the investigation.

• Protein molecules are kept inside of the cell because the cell needs them.

• The protein molecules are too large to diffuse out of the cell.
