Solution

The correct option is C swelling of seed when put in soil

Uptake of water by root hair

The uptake of water by the root hair is primarily due to the process of osmosis.

Exchange of gases in stomata

The exchange of respiratory gases through the stomata is through the process of diffusion.

Swelling of seed when put in the soil

Imbibition is the surface absorption of water that causes the swelling of the seed coat. Imbibition is the initial step in seed germination.


Opening of stomata

The opening and closing of stomata are regulated by the guard cells that become turgid or flaccid based on osmosis.

Final answer: c. swelling of seed when put in the soil.
