The epidermal cells of the roots are expanded into root hairs. This increases the surface area for absorption of water. The transpiration loss of water generates the force, that ultimately leads to absorption of water by root hairs. Because water molecules move along their concentration gradient, it is a passive absorption process.
So, the correct answer is option D.
