Solution

The correct option is C Turgor pressure
When water enters the cell of a plant cytoplasm and exerts an outward pressure and that pressure is called turgor pressure. A cell wall is rigid and flexible therefore exerts an equal and opposite wall pressure against the expanding protoplasm. Thus, turgor pressure becomes equal to the wall pressure when no exchange of water takes place and equilibrium are established.
