D. Suction pressure

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The hydrostatic pressure resulting from the entry of water into a cell due to osmosis is known as Osmotic pressure.
Osmotic pressure is defined as the pressure that must be applied to the solution side to stop fluid movement when a semipermeable membrane separates a solution from pure water.
Whereas hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at any point in time due to the force of gravity.
