Solution

The correct option is D I,III
The potometer works on the principle of capillarity where the movement of water is measured by calculating the distance at a particular time
Loss of water by the cell resulting in drooping is a type of temporary wilting
The water potential of root hair cells is negative with value ranging from 0.5 - 1.0 MPa
So, the correct answer is 'I , III'
