To answer this question we need to remember quickly what a hypotonic medium is. A hypotonic medium possesses a lower concentration of solute in contrast with the inner medium of the cell. So a cell in a hypotonic will swell with water, even more, can cause the rupture of the cell in a process called lysis. Taking this into consideration we can say that the correct answer is B.
