Solution
The correct option is D Deplasmolysis
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 protoplasm leaves cell wall and gets shrunk. If the same cell is now placed in a hypotonic medium or distilled water, it will gain water due to endosmosis and again become turgid. This cell is now called as deplasmolysed cell. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
