The correct option is A apoplast is nonliving spaces and cell walls Apoplast and symplast are two routes used by plants to transport water from root hair cells to the xylem of the root. Apoplast includes the non-living components of a plant such as cell walls and the intracellular spaces. The main difference between apoplast and symplast is their mechanism of the water movement.
So, the correct option is 'apoplast is non-living spaces and cell walls'.
