Answer:


\boxed {\tt Hypertonic}

Step-by-step explanation:

The H₂O, or water is exiting the cell, and the result is shriveled up red blood cells.

In a hypertonic solution, there is a greater concentration of solute outside the cell and a greater concentration of water inside the cell.

The water will diffuse through osmosis from high to low concentration, so the water moves out of the cell.

Therefore, this is a hypertonic solution.
