Solution

The correct option is B Plasmolysis
In this case, the soil solution is hypertonic as compared to cell sap. The soil solution has become hypertonic, because of the fertiliser added to the soil. Due to the process of exosmosis water is moving out of plant root cells leading to plasmolysis i.e., shrinkage of protoplasm. So, the correct answer is option B.
