Solution
The correct option is B Plasmolysed
When plant cells are kept in concentrated salt solution, water will flow out from plant cells due to the process of exosmosis and thus, cells shrink, called as plasmolysis and cells are called as plasmolysed cells. This is because water always flows from a region of high to low water potential. In this case water inside plant cell has more potential as compared to the water present outside in concentrated salt solution. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
