Solution

The correct option is C Atkins and Priestly
There are two methods of water absorption active and passive. Active water absorption requires energy. Osmotic active absorption theory was advanced first by Atkins in 1916 and later on by Priestley, 1921, for the maintenance of high salt content in xylem channels.
