Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The Munch hypothesis, or mass flow hypothesis, explains the translocation of organic solutes (primarily sucrose) through the phloem. It proposes that the movement is driven by a turgor pressure gradient between the source (where sugars are loaded into the phloem, increasing osmotic pressure) and the sink (where sugars are unloaded, decreasing osmotic pressure). Water flows from xylem to phloem and back, driving the bulk flow.
