Absorption of water takes place by both active and passive absorption.
Water, as per some theory, is absorbed against the concentration gradient. This type of absorption is termed active absorption where the movement is against the concentration gradient and requires energy in the form of ATP.
Most of the plants observe passive absorption, meaning, the movement is without utilization of metabolic energy. 
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
