At cellular level, gravitational potential is:

Correct option is C, Negligible. In WATER POTENTIAL problems like this, the accurate statement is Negligible; the others are common mix-ups. Not these: A) Maximum; B) Dominant; D) Positive. Tissue transport questions usually turn on xylem vs phloem, living vs dead cells, or source vs sink.

Pressure potential (Ψp) represents:

C fits best: Effect of hydrostatic pressure. Keep the WATER POTENTIAL basics straight and Effect of hydrostatic pressure stands out as the precise answer. Avoid: A) Effect of solute; B) Effect of gravity; D) Effect of diffusion. Light and flowering items often hinge on which photoreceptor or day-length rule is in play.
