On a warm summer day the transpiration pull is the main force that drives from root parenchyma into the root xylem. The table shows values of `Psi_(rho)`(pressure potential ) and `Psi_(s)`(solute potential) in root xylem and root parenchyma , in kPa. In which of the options (a-d) would tranpiration pull cause water to move from root parenchyma into the root xylem?

A

`{:("Root parenchyma",,"Root xylem"),(Psi_(p) " " Psi_(s),,Psi_(p)" "Psi_(s)),("200 -190",,"-200 5"):}`

B

`{:("Root parenchyma",,"Root xylem"),(Psi_(p) " " Psi_(s),,Psi_(p)" "Psi_(s)),("-200 220",,"65 -5"):}`

C

`{:("Root parenchyma",,"Root xylem"),(Psi_(p) " " Psi_(s),,Psi_(p)" "Psi_(s)),("200 -220",,"65 -5"):}`

D

`{:("Root parenchyma",,"Root xylem"),(Psi_(p) " " Psi_(s),,Psi_(p)" "Psi_(s)),("200 -220",,"-65 -5"):}`
