C. transmembrane
D. both `(a)` and `(c)`

Answer

C

Explanation

The transmembrane (or vacuolar ) pathway is the route followed by water that sequentially enters a cell on one side exits the cell on the other side enters the next in the series and so on. In this pathway water crosses at least two membrane for each cell in its path (the plasma membrane on entering and on exiting).
