Why does water move from one system to another when in contact?

Why does water move from one system to another when in contact?
  1. Due to evaporation
  2. Due to a change in temperature
  3. Due to differences in water potential
  4. None of the above

Solution

when two systems containing water are in contact, water will move from the system with higher water potential to the one with lower water potential. This is due to the random movement of water molecules and the transfer of energy.
