Solution

The correct option is B Plasmolysis
Plasmolysis occurs when water moves out of the cell due to the process of exosmosis and cell cytoplasm shrivels and leaves the cell wall. It occurs when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, whereas deplasmolysis occurs when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution.
So, the correct answer is option B.
