Solution

The correct option is A Distilled water
When the cell is kept in the distilled water, the concentration of the cytoplasm is higher as compared to the concentration of the distilled water outside the cell. The water flows from the lower concentration to the higher concentration and so there will be flow from outside the cell to inside resulting in endosmosis.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
