Answer:

The water is most likely to flow into the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of this would be osmosis, a type of diffusion. It is where water particles move around to balance out different things, in this case it is salt levels. Since there is more salt in the cell than solution, water will flow into the cell to make it as balanced it can

Step-by-step explanation:

Water will enter the cell because osmotic pressure will cause water to move from where it is more(10℅) to where it is less(12℅)
