Solution
The correct option is B Turgor pressure (A) The difference between the diffusion pressure of pure water and solution is Diffusion pressure deficit.
(B) Osmotic pressure is the pressure exerted to prevent osmosis.

(D) Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted against the wall pressure applied by the cell wall which causes entry of water in the cell causing the swelling of protoplast.
