Answer: Option C
Solution:

Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall. It is also called hydrostatic pressure and is defined as the pressure in a fluid measured at a certain point within itself when at equilibrium.
Turgor pressure is caused by the osmotic flow of water and occurs in plants, fungi, and bacteria, thus, the source of turgor in plant cells is water.
