Solution

The correct option is A Hypotonic solutions

A Hypertonic solution is a solution, which contains higher solute concentration. If mammalian liver cells are kept in hypertonic solution then exosmosis will occur. Exosmosis is a process in which outward movement of water molecules takes place from inside of lower solute concentration to the outside of higher solute concentration through the cell membrane. Due to exosmosis, mammalian liver cells will shrink. So, the correct answer is option B.
