Solution

Absorption is a bulk phenomenon.

Explanation:

It involves the adsorbate penetrating into the interior (bulk) of the adsorbent and being uniformly distributed throughout its lattice, unlike adsorption, which is a surface phenomenon restricted to the surface. This means absorption affects the whole volume of the material rather than just the surface layer.
