Solution

The correct option is B False
If a cell shrinks when placed in a solution, the solution is hypertonic because a hypertonic solution has lesser concentration of solvent molecules than the fluid inside the cell so the solvent molecules are forced outside the cell from the region of higher concentration to the lower concentration by the process of exosmosis.
So, the correct answer is option B.
