Solution

The correct option is A Turgor pressure
When a plant cell is placed in the hypotonic solution, it causes endosmosis i.e. movement of surrounding water into the cell. This creates a turgor pressure against the rigid walls due to the entry of water.
Osmotic pressure is the hydrostatic pressure developed in a solution when it is separated from the pure solvent by a semi-permeable membrane in a rigid vessel.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Turgor pressure'.
