Read the passage "The Movement of Water" in the box below. The Movement of Water

Osmosis is the movement of water from low concentrations of solutes, like pure water, to high concentrations of solutes, like 30% salt water. Plants use osmosis to take in and hold onto water because they have a higher solute concentration in their cells than the freshwater that surrounds them.

Using the passage, a student can conclude that a celery stalk placed in concentrated salt water would wilt, but a celery stalk placed in pure water would stand up tall because —
A.
water is rushing into the celery stalk cells and applying a pushing force on the cell walls to make the plant firm.
B.
salt is rushing into the celery stalk cells and applying a pushing force on the cell walls to make the plant firm.
C.
water is rushing out of the celery stalk cells and applying a pushing force on the cell walls to make the plant firm.
D.
salt is rushing out of the celery stalk cells and applying a pulling force on the cell walls to make the plant firm.
