Answer:

a.- Water will flow from the cucumber to the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of osmosis in difference of concentration of solutions. In the salty solution there is more salt molecules than inside the cucumber. Trying to make up for the same salt concentration inside that outside the cucumber, it will tend to flow some of the water that is inside the cucumber tissues to the environment that surrounds it
