The correct answer should be the option B - Remain same.
RBC's have an osmotic pressure which is similar to that of 0.8% NaCl solution. So, when the RBC's are kept in a 0.8% NaCl solution, the RBC's are in an isotonic condition with the NaCl solution.
Since they are isotonic, the osmosis of water molecules from the RBC's into the solution and vice versa will be equal. Therefore, there will not be any change in its contraction and its appearance.
