The correct answer is: D.Water will move out of the cell causing it to shrink.

In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside the cell. As a result, water will move out of the cell (where the solute concentration is lower) to the outside (where the solute concentration is higher) through osmosis. This movement of water out of the cell causes the cell to lose water and shrink.

To clarify the other options:

A.Water will move into the cell causing it to swell: This happens in a hypotonic solution, where the outside solution has a l...
