C

100 and 200

D

zero and 100

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The term water potential indicates the net tendency of any system to donate water to its surrounding. The water potential of pure water at atmospheric pressure is zero. Any addition of solute to this water reduces its water potential and makes its value negative. The osmotic potential of pure water also would be zero.
