Answer: It swells and bursts.
Explanation: Hypotonic solution is a solution in which concentration of water particles is more. Water moves from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. So, it moves from the surrounding medium into the cell by the process of endosmosis. Due to this, the cell swells up and sometimes bursts.
