Solution

The correct option is C
Hypertonic solution

When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water inside the cell (highest concentration) moves out of the cell (lowest concentration), causing the plant cell to shrink and the plant to wilt. For both human and plant cells, the water will rush out of the cell, and it will shrivel up.
