Solution

The correct option is D Turgor pressure
Turgor pressure is the pressure, that develops inside the cell due to the entry of water. It opposes further entry of water. The cellular contents exert turgor pressure on the cell wall and this pressure is responsible for the turgidity of a plant cell.
So, the correct answer is option C.
