The hydrostatic pressure difference between capillary fluid and interstitial fluid is higher in the capillary than in the interstitial fluid, so it favors movement of fluid out of the capillary (i.e., out of the tissue). The protein osmotic pressure difference between capillary fluid and interstitial fluid is higher in the capillary than in the interstitial fluid, so it favors movement of fluid into the capillary (i.e., into the tissue). Therefore, the hydrostatic pressure difference favors movement out of the tissue capillary, while the protein osmotic pressure difference favors movement into the tissue capillary. Hence, the best choice is option D.
