The correct answer is C. She added water that was hypotonic to the culture of organisms, and they ruptured.

Explanation:

In biology, a hypotonic solution is a substance with less concentration than the inner concentration in cells, this is the opposite of a hypertonic solution that has a higher concentration. Additionally, if cells are in hypotonic solution water or liquid will begin to get into them and this would make cells burst and finally explode and die due to the pressure in them.

This occurred in the case presented as it is likely the organisms collected from the ocean had a high concentration and therefore hen they were exposed to clean water in which concentration was lower, water entered into the cells and made them explode, which explains the only remains of them were bit and pieces.

Compounds are those substances that are made up of elements that are combined in a fixed proportion or ratio. The individual property of element is lost once it forms a compound. The physical and chemical properties of both compound and an element is different.

Example of a compound is water and its elements are hydrogen and oxygen. Water is a colorless liquid that acts as a solvent and dissolves most of the solutes in it. While oxygen and hydrogen occurs as gases in their elemental state.
