Solution

The correct option is B OP
Answer is option B i.e. "OP"
Hypotonic solution is one in which the solution kept outside the cell has lower solute concentration than the fluid inside the cell. The process being investigated is osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from a more dilute solution (with a lower solute concentration) to a less dilute solution (with a higher solute concentration). Therefore cell absorbs or sucks water with a force equal to O.P
