Solution

The correct option is C Exomosis
The excessive salt is used for the preservation of the pickles for long period of time. The high concentration of salt in the pickles causes the removal of the water from the bacterial cells resulting in plasmolysis. The bacterial cells die due to the loss of water by the process of exosmosis.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
