Solution

The correct option is A Pressure
Water potential of the soil is measured in terms of pressure potential.
It is created due to water present on the surface of the soil and also considering atmospheric pressure. If the soil is saturated then the pressure potential is taken as positive and it is taken zero in case of unsaturated soil.
So the correct answer is 'Pressure'.
