Solution
The correct option is A DPD
Movement of water inside or outside a cell depends on diffusion pressure deficit or DPD, which depends on osmotic pressure and turgor pressure. In fact DPD is calculated by the relation OP - TP. Osmotic pressure alone or turgor pressure alone cannot decide movement of water into or out from a cell.
