Solution

The correct option is D Negative
Pressure potential is the hydrostatic pressure exerted on water in a cell. When a cell is kept in a hyptonic solution, the plant cell becomes turgid. In this, the pressure potential is a positive value. When a cell a kept in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell becomes plasmolysed. In this, the pressure potential is negative.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
