Solution

The correct option is B Exosmosis
  • Plasmolysis occurs when plant cells lose water after being placed in a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell.
  • Hence, water flows out from the cells and into the surrounding fluid. As the movement of water is from the cell to the outside, this process is exosmosis.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
