Solution

The correct option is C Turgor pressure
Wall pressure is the pressure applied by the cell wall on the contents of the cell. Wall pressure is opposite to the turgor pressure.
Osmotic pressure is the force caused by a solution passing through a semi permeable surface by osmosis.
The actual pressure with which cell absorbs water is called suction pressure.
Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the cytoplasm on the cell wall.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
