Answer:

It is in hypotonic case.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plant cell is in hypotonic case because the the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than in the cell. Plant cell do not burst in hypotonic solution because they have a cellulose cell wall outside its cell membrane. The cell wall is permeable and it's prevent the cell from bursting after it absorb water through osmosis.
