Solution

The correct option is B Both (A) and (R) are correct
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Cell wall provides mechanical support to the plant cell. When a plant cell is kept in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell but it does not burst because of the pressure applied by the cell wall. Since it is rigid, it does not allow the cell to expand to an extent that it would burst.
