Answer:
The correct answer would be C). turgid.
The solution which contains higher solute concentration as compared to the other solution is said to be a hypertonic solution while the solution which has lower solute concentration is said to be a hypotonic solution.
The water or solvent always moves from the region of higher solute concentration that is, the hypertonic solution to the region of lower concentration that is, the hypotonic solution as a result of osmosis.
Thus, when the cell is placed in the solution which has less solute concentration (hypotonic) as compared to inside the cell (hypertonic), the water from outside the cell will move inside the cell as result of osmosis.
Consequently, the cell would become turgid.
