Solution

The correct option is C DPD
DPD stands for diffusion pressure deficit. The deficit in diffusion pressure depends on the number of solute particles present in the system. In a plant body, water moves from a region of low DPD to a region of high DPD. This is understandable because low DPD means low solute concentration or high concentration of solvent molecules and vice versa for high DPD.
