Solution

The correct option is B Increase
Osmosis is the process of movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the lower concentration. The cells absorb water by the process of osmosis from its surrounding and the volume of solvent increases. On absorption of water the turgor pressure inside the cells increases as the number of solvent molecules increases inside the cells.
So, the correct answer is option B.
