Solution
The correct option is A Plasmolysis
Plasmolysis in a plant cell is defined as the process of shrinkage of the protoplasm as a result of loss of water from the cell. It occurs when plant cells are placed in a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell does. In this, plant cell is kept in hypertonic solution. When cell is placed in hypotonic solution, it is called as turgidity. If plant cell is kept in an isotonic solution so that it is neither turgid nor plasmolyzed, it is called as flaccidity.Thus, the correct answer is option B.
