Answer:

Hypertonic solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypertonic solution refer to the solution of a cell if the solute concentration is higher inside than outside and it cannot cross the membrane. In Hypertonic solution, Water crosses the cell membrane in both directions which result in more b water leaving the cell than entering it. Therefore, a cell place in this solution will shrink due to exosmosis.
