Answer:

D) Pressure potential differences between source and sink

Explanation:

high turgor pressure causes the movement of phloem sap from source to sink, Sap moves through phloem via translocation, the transport of dissolved materials in a plant. Unlike the xylem, which can only carry water upward, phloem carries sap upward and downward, from sugar sources to sugar sinks.
