Solution

The correct option is C Exosmosis
When excessive fertilizers are used, the surrounding soil solution will become hypertonic as compared to the cell sap. When plant cells are kept in hypertonic solution, they lose water by the process of exosmosis.
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it shrinks as because the water flows from lower concentration of solute to the higher concentration of solute.
So, the correct answer is option A.
