The first two are correct but ulimately too vague to be the correct answer for this question.
The answer: Brownian Motion.

Brownian motion. Gas of any type is composed of molecules which are always flying around colliding with each other like little tiny billiard balls. Anything of a small enough size mixed in with these molecules (such as a spray of perfume) will be bombarded by millions of these high-speed molecules and eventually spread around the whole room.

I agree with moosa. Diffusion.
Diffusion in favor of a gradient.
