A) Osmosis, diffusion, and active transport are the three processes by which plants can
absorb water and other minerals of the soil.

Step-by-step explanation:
Osmosis: In this process, the cell wall and the
cell fluid act as permeable membranes and
semi-permeable membranes. The
concentration of the cell is more in
comparison to the water. So, water enters
through the roots by osmosis process.

Diffusion: The soil water enters from the
higher concentration to the lower
concentration by the process of diffusion.

Active transport: By active transport, process
minerals enter from the reverse direction.
