Solution

The correct option is A ψs+ψp
Water potential is the potential energy in water and derives the movement of water in plants. Plants used water potential to transport water to the leaves so that photosynthesis can take place. Water potential (Ψ) is determined and influenced by two factors -osmotic potential (ΨS) and pressure potential (ΨP).
So the correct answer is 'Ψ=ΨS+ΨP'.
