Solution

The correct option is B hypertonic solution
Solutes are the particles that are dissolved in a solvent, and together they formed a solution. A Hypertonic is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it.

A solution of $5 %$ dextrose (sugar) and $0.45 %$ sodium chloride is an example of a hypertonic solution.
