Answer:

the egg begins to shrink

Explanation:

During the 5 minutes that the egg is in the concentrated salt solution he would notice that the egg begins to shrink. This occurs due to the process known as osmosis which happens when a solvent passes a semipermeable membrane towards where there is a higher concentration which in this case would be within the egg. Since the egg would contain more water than the salt solution causing it to shrivel and shrink.
