C. The 10x objective was switched to the 40x objective.
D. Salt water was added to the cells

Answer 1

Answer:    A

Explanation:

The magnifiacation doesn't change. We aren't seeing a more detail or less detail view of the cells. Thus this eliminates B & C.

There is no change in the turgidity of the cell or in the cell membrane. Thus this eliminates D.

However, B looks darker than. This is usually a sign that the cells have been stained. This was perhaps done with Methylene Blue.
