Answer

Answer:

B. hypotonic

Brief Explanation:

In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the plant cells by osmosis. This causes the plant cells to swell and become turgid, making the plant firmer and more rigid. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cells causing plasmolysis and wilting. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water and no change in cell firmness. Osmotic is a general term related to osmosis and not a specific solution - type for this context.
