Should it not be #d.#?

Explanation:

The number of particles in solution DETRACT from the osmotic pressure. And so the LESSER the amount of solute, the LESSER the detraction from osmotic pressure with respect to the pure solvent.

Of course, we assume the SAME solute in each scenario...and thus mass is a good approximation of the number of particles in solution.
