Solution
The correct option is B DPD = OP
Water moves from an area of lower diffusion pressure deficit (DPD) to an area of higher DPD. The value of DPD is calculated as the algebraic difference between osmotic pressure and turgor pressure. In a fully turgid cell, the value of DPD is equal to zero and turgor pressure is numerically equal to osmotic pressure. In a flaccid cell the turgor pressure is zero and hence, DPD will be equal to the osmotic pressure.
