    The values of osmotic potential (71) and pressure potential (p) of cells A, B, C and D are given below.    
    \[\pi \] P
    Cell A -1.0 0.5
    Cell B -0.6 0.3
    Cell C -1.2 0.6
    Cell D -0.8 0.4
    /Identify the correct sequence that shows the path of movement of water from among the following

    A) D \[\to \] C \[\to \] A\[\to \] B   

    B) B \[\to \] D\[\to \] A\[\to \] C                    

    C) B\[\to \] C\[\to \] D\[\to \]A      

    D)        C\[\to \] B\[\to \] A\[\to \] D

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Water moves from higher water potential, higher osmotic potential or lower pressure potential to lower water potential or lower osmotic potential or higher pressure potential. Thus, in the given question, the path of water movement is following \[B\to D\to A\to C\]
