Solution

The correct option is C Ψ
The symbol psi denotes water potential. Water potential also describes the chemical potential or free energy of water. More the number of water molecules in the system, more is the free energy content, more is the chemical potential and more is the water potential. Thus, pure water has maximum water potential. The water potential of pure water has been assumed to be zero.
