The correct Answer is:
D
Mass flow or pressure flow hypothesis was put forward by Much `(1927-1930)` .According to this hypothesis, organic substances move from the region of high osmotic pressure to the region of low osmotic pressure in a mass flow due to the development of a gradient of turgor pressure.
