Solution

The correct option is D Plasmolysed
Plasmolysis is the process of shrinkage of the protoplast when kept in the hypertonic solution. The higher concentration of solute outside the cell allows the cell to lose water which causes shrinkage of protoplast. The plasmolyzed cell, when placed in hypotonic solution, reagins its shape.
So, the correct answer is option D.
