Detailed Solution

A turgid cell has less negative water potential as it has more pressure potential than a flaccid cell. A flaccid cell has more water potential and solute potential than a plasmolysed cell. Since water of protoplast is lost due to plasmolysis, the volume of protoplast of plasmolysed cell is less than that of a flaccid cell as well as turgid cell.
