JazakAllah that really helped thanx a lot broWell the answer is D correct me if I'm wrong, okay explanation "W.p of cell = Pressure.p + solute potential".
okay so in the middle we have incipient plasmolysis you have to check the images for this, at this point, pressure potential is zero and both the water potential and solute potential are negative always (remember that solute potential can never be positive alright) so follow the equation at incipient plasmolysis water potential of cell = solute potential. lets go to turgid the water potential is zero why know since pressure potential can become more positive (it can exceed zero) WHEN THE CELL IS TURGID, and like i said the solute potential is always negative so "W.P of cell = 3.5-3.5" which is zero so "-" is for the solute potential and "+" is for the pressure potential and that only occurs when turgid okay, so W.p of cell is 0.
