Answer:
(c) The solution with higher concentration of water as compared
to the cell is termed as hypotonic solution.
When the cells are kept in a hypotonic solution
endosmosis occurs i.e., the inward movement of water This results in the swelling
up of cells. When kept in hypotonic solution the RBCs burst easily because they
are animal cells and do not possess cell wall, while the RBC burst when
kept in onion peel possess cell wall which makes it resistant to the bursting
due to swelling caused by endosmosis.
Therefore, option (c) is correct.
