Answer: option B- bother freshwater and the salt solution are hypertonic to the cells of the celery stalks.
According to the concept of osmosis, when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution (high solute concentration), water moves out of the cells and opposite is the case when a cell is a placed in a hypotonic solution.
In the above example, celery stalks have become stiff/limp in both cases which indicates that both solutions are hypertonic to the cells so that water movement takes place from the cells to the outside.
