Answer 2

Answer:

Correct answer is option (A) more water molecules surrounding the cell than inside the cell.

Explanation:

Solution is the mixture of solute and solvent.

Solvent is the water molecules in a cell.

A solution is called hypotonic to a cell when it contains less amount of solute particles outside the cell than the solute inside the cell.

Therefore, water molecules (solvent) is more outside the cell when compared to the molecules of water inside the cell.

Extra information:

Option B is Hypertonic and Option C is Isotonic.
