Solution
The correct option is B Hypertonic solution
Shrinkage of the protoplast of a cell from its cell occurs under the influence of a hypertonic solution called plasmolysis.
Due to plasmolysis the protoplast separates from the cell wall and assumes a spherical form.
The space between the nucleus and plasma membrane is occupied by a hypotonic solution, i.e., like the nature of cell protoplasm as compared to the external solution.
The hypertonic solution will be present in the space between the plasma membrane and the cell membrane.
