Solution

The correct option is B Apoplast
In the apoplast pathway, the water molecule moves across the cell wall and intercellular spaces without entering the cytoplasm. The movement of water takes place from cell to cell by crossing the plasma membrane of each cell. Thus, water passes at least two membranes for each cell in the apoplast pathway.
