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.
