Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypertonic solution defined as a type of solution having a high solute concentration on the outside of a cell as compared in the inside of a cell.

The image given is illustrating plant cell in a hypertonic solution.

When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water is transported out of the cell, and the cell starts shrinking because of high solute concentration outside the cell.

Thus the correct option is B.
