Solution

The correct option is E Endosmosis
If a cell is placed in a hypotonic medium, it will swell due to the uptake of water by endosmosis. Endosmosis means the flow of water from outside to inside the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution it swells as because the water flows from a higher concentration of solute to the lower concentration of solute.
So, the correct answer is option E.
