At zero turgor pressure the cell shows

Solution
The correct option is C Limiting plasmolysis
Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water and protoplast shrinks in a hypertonic solution. The turgor pressure decreases as the cell loses more water. In a flaccid cell, the plant cells have zero turgor pressure. At zero turgor pressure, an osmotic potential equal to its water potential and limiting plasmolysis is seen. At limiting plasmolysis, pressure potential is zero. In the turgid cell, the turgor pressure is high. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
