The statement that would best explain why one red blood cell hemolyzes more quickly than another is if the cell that hemolyzes more quickly acquires NaCl at a faster rate.

Water moves by osmosis in and out of cells from the region of high water potential or low solute concentration to the region of low water potential or high solute concentration.

A cell with a higher solute concentration than the surrounding solution will keep acquiring water from its surrounding until the cell becomes turgid and bursts or lyses due to over-turgidity.

If the reverse occurs, such a cell will lose water and become flaccid.

Thus, if a red blood cell acquires NaCl, a solute, at a faster rate, such a cell will also acquire water and become turgid/lyses at a faster rate.
