Solution
The correct option is A Mass flow hypothesis
The Pressure flow hypothesis often regarded as mass flow hypothesis explains best about the movement of Plant sap through phloem .The concept was proposed by E.Munch . The transpiration of water from leaves and other part of plant body produces negative pressure inside transport vessels causing root to absorb large amount of water along with ions to maintain the continuity of column of water . So, correct Option is Option C.
