B. Theory
The hypothesis that stand the test of time (often tested and never rejected) is called theory. A theory is supported by a great dealcof evidence.
<span>The answer is hypertonic. In osmosis, water
molecules move from a hypotonic solution to the hypertonic solution, through a
semipermeable membrane. This occurs until
both solutions become isotonic relative to each other. In osmosis, only
the movement of water molecules occurs since the ions are large enough to pass
through the pores of the semipermeable membrane,
in this case, the cell membrane. Due to
loss of water in the process of osmosis, the cells in the fingers of the swimmers
shrunk hence looked shriveled.</span>
