F

A model uses the following expression.

relative diffusion value=surface area×concentration differencemembrane thickness \text{relative diffusion value}=\frac{\text{surface area}\times\text{concentration difference}}{\text{membrane thickness}} relative diffusion value=membrane thicknesssurface area×concentration difference​

The surface area is 8 units, the concentrations on the two sides are 9 and 3 units, and the membrane thickness is 2 units.

What is the relative diffusion value?
