Solution

The correct option is A
Water potential

Water potential is the 'measure of the ability of water molecules to move freely in solution'. As more solute is added water potential is decreased because the movement of water molecules is restricted by solute particles. Also, pressure potential increases the water potential. Thus, water potential is the combination of solute potential and pressure potential.
