Solution

The correct option is D Symplast
Active absorption requires input of energy. Energy is available in living tissues only where it is produced by the process of respiration.
Symplast is the living portion of a plant body, whereas apoplast is the non living portion. Hence, active absorption will always occur in symplast and not in apoplast.
So, the correct answer is 'Symplast'
