Solution
The correct option is B Increase When concentration of soil solutes is low then the soil solution is hypotonic as compared to cell sap. Water always flows from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution. Hence, when the soil solution is hypotonic due to low concentration of solutes, the water flows into the cell due to the process of endosmosis and absorption of water is increased.
