Solution

The correct option is C C, A, B
Water potential of the given cells are

Ψ = ΨS + ΨR

A = − 0.87 + 0.44 = − 0.43

B = −0.92 + 0.34 = − 0.58

C = − 0.68 + 0.27 = − 0.41

As water moves from greater potential to less, root hair, root cortical and leaf mesopyll cells are C, A, B respectively.
