Solution
The correct option is C Turgor pressure Water moves in the plant body according to DPD gradient. Water moves from a region of lower DPD to a region of higher DPD. When water moves inside a cell the cell protoplasm swells and exerts a pressure called as turgor pressure (TP), the cell wall as per Newton's law exerts an equal and opposite pressure on the protoplasm. The pressure exerted by the wall on protoplasm is called as wall pressure or WP.
