A) Osmosis, diffusion, and active transport are the three processes by which plants can absorb water and other minerals of the soil.
Explanation: Osmosis: In this process, the cell wall and the cell fluid act as permeable membranes and semi-permeable membranes. The concentration of the cell is more in comparison to the water. So, water enters through the roots by osmosis process.
Diffusion: The soil water enters from the higher concentration to the lower concentration by the process of diffusion.
Active transport: By active transport, process minerals enter from the reverse direction.
