Solution

The correct option is A Turgor pressure
If a cell is kept in hypertonic solution exosmosis occurs and water moves out from the cell into the solution. This process is called as exosmosis and leads to plasmolysis. In a plasmolyzed cell, the cell contents or cytoplasm leaves cell wall and gets shrunk. Thus, a decrease in cell turgor and turgor pressure drops.
So, the correct answer is option D.
