Solution

The correct option is A Cell wall and inter cellular spaces
The water transport in the apoplastic pathway is through the cell membrane and the intercellular spaces. Water and solutes can pass freely through them.
This happens when water cannot enter the cells due to the presence of Caspian strips.
So the correct answer is ' Cell wall and intercellular spaces'.
