Translocation of water refers to the movement of water within plants. The correct answer is option 3, which states that water can be translocated through both the apoplastic and symplastic pathways.

The apoplastic pathway refers to the movement of water through the cell walls and intercellular spaces of plant tissues. This allows water to move freely through non-living parts of the plant, such as the xylem.

The symplastic pathway, on the other hand, involves the movement of water through the cytoplasm of living plant cells. It passes through plasmodesmata, which are small channels connecting adjacent plant cells.

Both pathways are important for water transport in plants, and they can work together to ensure efficient movement of water from the roots to the other parts of the plant.
