Solution
The correct option is B Show plasmolysis
The hypertonic condition is achieved when water concentration is low and solute concentration is higher, so when a plant cell is kept in a hypertonic solution it will shrink as the water molecules will move outside the cell through the semipermeable membrane in order to attain equilibrium.
