Solution

The correct option is A The cell gets killed on boiling, so no plasmolysis.
The Rhoeo leaves boiling kill their cells and cell organelles, cell wall. When the sugar syrup is kept on the dead leaf, no change occurs in the leaf, as there is no cytosol to participate in osmosis with the surrounding.
