Hypertonic" is the one among the following choices given in the question that is a solution used for salad dressing.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypertonic solution is a special type of solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when associated with the inside of a cell.as a result, water inside the cell will move outwards to attain equilibrium, creating the cell to shrink.
