Solution

The correct option is A Its OP increses
OP is Osmotic pressure which is the hydrostatic pressure developed in a solution when it is separated from pure solvent by a semi permeable membrane in a rigid vessel. When the flaccid cell is placed in water then the pure solvent is water, the cytoplasm of the cell is solution and the sell membrane is semi permeable membrane.
So, the correct option is 'Its OP incncreases'
