Solution

The correct option is D hypertonic solution
Ans (D)
Hypertonic solution.
Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure required to prevent the inward flow of solvent melecules through a semipermeable membrane. The solution with a higher concentration of solute leading to a higher osmotic pressure is called hypertonic solution. Isotonic solutions have same osmotic pressure and hypotonic solitions have less osmotic pressure.
