Solution

The correct option is D When osmotic pressure of solution is higher than that of the cell sap.
The osmotic pressure of a solution depends on the concentration of dissolved solute particles. More the number of dissolved solute particles, higher will be the osmotic pressure. Hence, a hypertonic solution will always have higher osmotic pressure. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
