The correct choice is C because it provides a balanced scenario where the pressure potential (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 p ) is positive and the water potential (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 w ) is negative, which is a common condition in plant cells where turgor pressure is positive and water potential is negative due to solute concentration.
