The correct answer is option A, that is, the vinegar solution was hypotonic, causing the egg to gain mass.

A hypotonic solution refers to any kind of solution, which exhibits a lower osmotic pressure than another solution. In biology terms, this usually means a solution that exhibits less solute and more water in comparison to another solution.  

In the given case, the egg is placed in vinegar (a hypotonic solution), thus water will get inside the egg making the egg to gain mass.

Climate changes can produce various effects in ecosystems. Which of the following is a way that marine ecosystems can be affecte
Darya [45]

Since the speed of many physiological processes in marine organisms is determined by the temperature, the first consequence of the changes in the conditions of the medium becomes offset the timing of seasonal events, such as the timing of spawning fish. There have also offset migration routes and spawning areas. So, as a result of warming in the Sea of ​​Japan, spawning navaga shifted to an earlier date, because of the reduction of the area of ​​"cold spots" in the eastern Bering Sea shelf feeding migration of pollock, halibut and crab are lengthened, but because of the temperature rise to the east of Japan, spawning saury expanding. These changes significantly affect the success of reproduction, resulting in changes populations of their fishery.
