Solution

The correct option is C Symplast pathway
In symplast pathway, water passes from cell to cell through their protoplasm. It does not enter cell vacuoles. The cytoplasm of the adjacent cells are connected through plasmodesmata. Symplastic movement is aided by cytoplasmic streaming of individual cells.
