Answer:
The answer is d)
Explanation:
The cell will shrink because it is in a hypertonic solution.
This is because, in osmosis, water moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration of water.
In this question, more water is present inside the cell as the percentage of NaCl (salt) is 0.9%. There is less water outside the cell as there is 1% of NaCl... So..the water will move outside the cell and the cell will shrink.
Also, the type of solution given is called a hypertonic solution.
Hypertonic solution: If the medium has a lower concentration of water than the cell, it is a hypertonic solution.
Hope it helps.
