Solution

The correct option is C
Wall pressure

When a plant cell is stretched fully due to turgidity, the cell wall exerts a counter-pressure on the contents of the cell. This pressure is known as the wall pressure. When the plant cell is turgid, the wall pressure is equal to the turgor pressure but oppposite in direction.
