(A) Correct answer (A)
(B) Explanation of correct answer :

· Apoplast refers to a plant's non-protoplasmic components, such as the cell wall and intracellular spaces. The symplastic system is the system of interconnected protoplasts.

· The apoplastic flow of water happens solely through intercellular gaps and cell walls. Water moves through the cells' cytoplasm during symplastic movement; intercellular movement occurs via the plasmodesmata. Cytoplasmic streaming may promote symplastic movement.
So, only (2) is correct.
