When salt is applied to vegetables, it creates a higher ion concentration at the surface than exists deep within the cells. To equalize the concentration levels, the water within the cells is drawn out through the permeable cell walls by the process of osmosis.

Answer:

Exosmosis is the process of movement of water molecules from inside to the  outside of the cell, where the solution is hypertonic due to the presence of salt and thus by adding salt to the vegetables it releases water.

The same principle is used in pickling, where the mangoes (or any other fruit) are soaked in a hypertonic solution of salt.

Then the mangoes will ooze out water and the cell becomes flaccid. This process is called as an exosmosis.

So, the correct answer is 'Exosmosis'
