Cell wall prevents it from undergoing cytolysis and bursting when placed in a hypotonic environment.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Cytolysis happens when a cell blasts because of an osmotic pressure that has made an abundance of water diffuse into the cell. Water can enter the cell by dispersion through the cell wall or through specific film channels called aquaporins, which significantly encourage the progression of water.

It happens in a hypotonic domain, where water moves into the cell as a natural side effect and makes its volume increment to the point where the volume surpasses the film's ability and the cell blasts. Due to the presence of cell wall cytolysis process is prevented.
