None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -A solution will be hypertonic to a cell if its solute concentration is higher than that inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane. If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net flow of water into the cell, and the cell will gain volume.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hypertonic solutions have a higher solute concentration than inside the cell. This causes water to rush out making the cell wrinkle or shrivel.
Detailed explanation-3: -A hypertonic solution is a particular type of solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell. Water crosses the cell membrane in both directions, but more water leaves the cell than enters it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hypotonic solution is a solution which has a greater concentration outside the cell and hypertonic solution is a solution which has a greater concentration inside the cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -In other words, a hypertonic solution is one in which there is a greater concentration or number of solute particles outside a membrane than there are inside it. For both human and plant cells, the water will rush out of the cell, and it will shrivel up.
