Solution

The correct option is A Free form
Protoplasm constitutes more than 95 percent weight of the body of an organism. On the average protoplasm contains 84 per cent water. Most of the water is present in free unbounded form and provides medium for metabolic reactions occurring in a cell. At very low temperature, water may freeze into crystals of ice and cell suffers from cold injury. It results in death of protoplasm.
