A hypertonic solution has:
Fewer water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell. Thus, option "A" is correct.
<h3>What is hypertonic solution?</h3>
- The cell is in a hypertonic solution because it lost water through osmosis and shrunk.
- A hypertonic solution contains more solute molecules compared to solvent molecules while the hypotonic solution has more solvent molecules than solute molecules.
- When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it loses water through osmosis and shrinks.
- An animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution absorbs water through osmosis, increases in size and then bursts. Plant cell, on the other hand, does not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution as it contains a cellulose cell wall.
Thus, option "A" is correct.

Answer:
The answer is evaporation.
Explanation:
Runoff is not right because runoff is water that hits the surface of the earth, then runs down into natural bodies of water. It is not condensation either. That is because condensation is when cool water vapor comes into contact with humid, warm air causes water droplets to appear on the surface of what is containing the cool water vapor. Finally, precipitation is when water comes down from the atmosphere to the surface of the earth, therefore this is incorrect. Evaporation however is when water from the surface of the earth turns into water vapor and goes into the atmosphere. Therefore it is the right answer.
