Solution

The correct option is B Turgidity
Water imparts turgidity to the growing cells to maintain their form and structure. Turgidity is also essential for the stomatal opening, movement of leaves, flower petals, and various specialized plant structure. Water present in the vacuoles helps in maintaining the turgidity of the cells which is a must for proper activities of life and to maintain this form and structure.
So, the correct answer is option C.
