Solution

The correct option is C both apoplast and symplast pathway
Once water is absorbed by the root hairs, it can move deeper into root layers by two distinct pathways viz., apoplast pathway and symplast pathway. In the apoplast pathway, water moves outside the cells, whereas in the symplast pathway, water moves through the cytoplasm inside the cells.
