Solution

The correct option is D 25o35oC

Temperature about 30°C favours water absorption. At higher tem­peratures water absorption is decreased. Also, low temperature decreases the permeability of the cell membrane. Metabolic activities of the root cells are decreased below the optimum temperature.

So the correct answer is '25°C - 35°C'.
