Solution

The correct option is D I and II
Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that form pores in the membrane of biological cells, mainly facilitating transport of water between cells. The cell membranes of a variety of different bacteria, fungi, animal and plant cells contain aquaporins through which water can flow more rapidly into and out of the cells than by diffusing through the phospholipid bilayer.

so the correct option is " I and II'.
