C. They will lose their shape
Step-by-step explanation:
When cells are out of balance, they can lose their shape, which is often referred to as cytoskeletal instability. This can be caused by various factors, including changes in osmotic pressure, alterations in the internal or external environment, or disruptions in the cell's structural components. Changes in cell shape can affect the cell's ability to function properly and can lead to various cellular dysfunctions. While options A and B are possible in extreme cases, loss of shape is a more common consequence of cellular imbalance.
