Condition that occurs if too much water leaves the cell and cell collapses.
A
Plasmolysis
B
Osmosis
C
Cytolysis
D
Exocytosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Severe water loss, which causes the cell wall to collapse, can result in cell death. The plasma membrane and protoplast of a cell detach from the cell wall when it suffers severe plasmolysis. Ctyorrhysis is the mechanism through which the cell wall collapses. The cell gets destroyed as a result of this.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plasmolysis occurs when the cell is in a hypotonic solution which results in lower external osmotic pressure and the net flow of water passes into the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the convex plasmolysis, both the cell membrane and protoplasm lose so much water that they completely get detach from the cell wall. Later, the cell wall collapses and results in the destruction of the cell.
