Solution

The correct option is A Exosmosis
When excessive fertilizers are used, there is a high concentration of salt or chemical in soil water. This becomes the hypertonic solution. As the concentration of water is less in soil water and more in the cell so exosmosis takes place and due to the excess water loss, wilting occurs.
So, the correct answer is option B.
