Solution

The correct option is A Through cell wall
Apoplast comprises of non living components ie intercellular spaces and cell wall. Symplast comprises of living components i.e., protoplasm, cell membrane and plasmodesmata. Fast movement of water due to physical forces occurs through apoplast. The movement through apoplast is fast but unregulated.
