Solution
The correct option is A SP
Water enters a cell due to Diffusion Pressure Deficit (DPD) or Suction Pressure (SP). Water always flows from a region of lower DPD to higher DPD. The mathematical relation for determining DPD (or SP) is OP - TP. When a cell is fully turgid, its OP is equal to TP and DPD or SP is zero. The turgid cell cannot absorb any more water.Thus, the correct answer is option C.
