. The water potential and osmotic potential of pure water are

Best Answer

Correct Option is :  (B)

Explanation :

When two solutions are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, osmosis is the net diffusion of water molecules from the dilute solution to the concentrated solution. 

When a solution is isolated from its pure solvent, the solvent molecules move from the pure solvent to the solution.

The osmotic potential and water potential of pure water are zero as the pure water does not have any dissolved salts.
