Solution

The correct option is A

Pure Water


Water potential is the measure of the ability of water molecules to move freely in solution.

In pure water, where there is no solute, all of the water molecules are free to move, so the water potential is high.

If a solute is added to the solution, it is attracted to the water molecules, so water molecules can no longer move freely and the water potential is lowered.
