Solution

The correct option is C Root
Active water absorption is the absorption of water due to forces present in the root. Living cells in active metabolic condition are essential for this. Auxins are known to enhance water absorption (even from hypertonic solution) while respiratory inhibitors reduce the same.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
