Answer:

C. Water will flow into and out of the cell, but the overall net movement will be into the cell.

Explanation:

In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of water outside the cell is higher than inside the cell and the concentration of the solute is lower than inside the cell, therefore, water will flow in and out of the cell but the net movement of water will be from area having higher water concentration to lower concentration.

That means the net movement of water will be into the cell if a cell is placed into the hypotonic solution. Water moves in and out of a cell by the process called osmosis which is a type of diffusion.

This movement of water into the cell will swell cell and the cell can burst if it is not protected by a cell wall. Therefore the right answer is C.

The correct answer is it lives inside or on a host.

C is incorrect because leeches almost always use their host as a food source

D is incorrect because parasites can often dig beneath the host's skin to be hidden from sight
