Solution

The correct option is A Hypertonic containing sodium chloride
According to this diagram, cell is placed in hypertonic solution. Due to this, water from cell move into the external solution. It leads to the shrinkage of protoplast.
So, the correct option is 'Hypertonic containing sodium chloride'.
