Solution
The correct option is A Endosmosis
Marine fish burst when thrown under tap water because of endosmosis, because its metabolism is different and it is adapted to live in water with a higher concentration of salt in their cells. When it is thrown in tap water, water will diffuse from higher concentration to the lower concentration of the cells, which results in bursting of the cells.
