Solution

The correct option is B Osmotic pressure
Solute potential is the potential developed due to solute particles. More the solute particles, higher the solute potential. Solute potential is a component of water potential. In terms of diffusion pressure deficit, solute potential is same as osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure is the pressure due to which osmosis occurs. The osmotic pressure is caused due to dissolved solute particles in the solution.
