Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that <u>the cell was submerged in a hypertonic solution.</u>

<em>A hypertonic solution is a solution with a higher concentration of solutes than that of the cytosol of a cell suspended in it. When a cell is suspended in a hypertonic solution, water moves osmotically from the cytosol to the hypertonic solution. This causes the cytoplasm to collapse and the cell becomes flaccid. </em>

The correct option is A.
