Solution

The correct option is A Wall pressure is decreased
When a cell is placed in the hypotonic medium, water will enter into the cell due to endosmosis and turgor pressure of cell will increase. As wall pressure is equal and opposite to the turgor pressure. The wall pressure will also increase. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
