|
|
A solution more concentrated than inside the cell
|
|
|
A solution with the same concentration as in the cell
|
|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the intracellular solute concentration. When a red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net movement of free water into the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -A dilute solution is called a hypotonic solution. This type of solution relatively contains a small amount of solute concentration dissolved in the solution.
Detailed explanation-3: -(ii) Hypotonic solution: A solution having a lesser concentration of solute inside as compared to outside the cell is called a hypotonic solution.
