Answer:b)a higher water concentration than the cell

Step-by-step explanation: Biologically ,hypotonic solution are those solution which show the high content of water in comparison with the content of the solute material. The tonicity of the solution determines the low osmotic pressure should be present in hypotonic solution as compared with any other solution.

The reaction caused by the hyptonic solution in the animals and the plant is they appear more fluffed and large in it. Thus the correct option is option(b).
