The correct answer is: No movement
DPD is a diffusion pressure deficit and it is used to find out the direction of movement of water. The movement of water will take place from low DPD to high DPD and it can be calculated through given formula i.e.

DPD= Osmotic pressure-Turgor pressure
 
Cell A Cell B
OP=6 OP=3
TP=WP=5 TP=WP=2
So DPD=6-5=1 DPD=3-2=1

The DPD of both the cells is coming equal. So there will be no movement of water.
