DPD or diffusion pressure deficit determines the flow of water. Water moves from low DPD to high DPD. 
DPD is given by: DPD = OP - TP.
In cell A, DPD = 5 - 4 = 1.
In other cells, DPD = 3 - 1 = 2.
Since water moves from low DPD to high DPD, here the movement occurs from cell A to the other cells.
Hence, the correct answer is 'From cell A to other cells'.
