Answer:
C. Water passes into the salt solution, dehydrating bacterial cells and making them harmless.
Explanation:
The salt solution is hypertonic to the bacterial cells and as such, water molecules will move from the bacterial cells into the salt solution, dehydrating the cells and rendering them harmless.
Option A is also true but it is irrelevant to the question asked. Option B and D are wrong.
The correct option is C.

Answer:
1. Electronic configuration of sulphide ion S²¯ (18) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶
2. Ar
Explanation:
1. S²¯ simply indicates that the sulphur atom (S) has gained two extra electrons.
Thus we shall write electron configuration of sulphur (S) and sulphide ion (S²¯) as follow:
The electronic configuration of S²¯
S (16) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁴
S²¯ (18) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶
2. Determination of the noble gas element that has the same electronic configuration as S²¯.
This is illustrated below:
Sulphur (S) has 16 electrons while the sulphide ion (S²¯) has extra 2 electrons making it to have a total electron of 18. Observing the elements in the periodic table, only Argon has 18 electrons with electronic configuration as:
Ar (18) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶
Therefore, sulphide ion (S²¯) has the same electronic configuration as Argon (Ar).
