      Osmotic pressure is always negative. Statement II: Osmotic potential is also always negative. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
      A Both Statement I and Statement II are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Both Statement I and Statement II are false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Statement I is true but Statement II is false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Statement I is false but Statement II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Osmotic pressure is always positive, not negative. Osmotic pressure refers to the pressure required to prevent the osmosis of a solvent (usually water) across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. On the other hand, osmotic potential is always negative.
