Solution

The correct option is B $ψ_{s} (A) = - 8 b a r, ψ s (B) = - 3 b a r, ψ s (C) = - 2 b a r$

At atmospheric pressure, the water potential $(ψ_{w})$ of a solution is equal to the solute potential $(ψ_{s})$ of that solution. Movement of water occurs from its high water potential to its low water potential. Hence, correct option is b.
