The correct answer is: C.They will shrink and shrivel.

When you add table salt (which dissolves into sodium and chloride ions) to the solution surrounding human cells, you are creating a hypertonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes (in this case, salt) is higher outside the cell than inside.

As a result, water will move out of the cells to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane. This loss of water causes the cells to shrink and shrivel in a process known as crenation in animal cells.

Here’s why the other options are not correct:

A.They will swell and burst: This happens in a hypotonic sol...
