Well I'm not exactly certain where the teacher is going with this, but an often used example is red blood cells (RBCs) aka: erythrocytes.
RBCs are suspended in blood plasma as they flood through vessels around and around the body, so the osmolarity (amount of small particles that affect osmosis) must remain relatively constant. This is termed "isotonic", meaning the same amount of osmosis-influencing particles that are there inside the RBCs' cytosol, within their plasma membranes.
If the plasma osmolarity get too high, called hypertonic (as with extra salt particles) then water inside the RBCs will have an osmotic force driving it out of the cells' membranes, to flow where there are more salt particles. This will lead to cell shrinkage (called "crenation").
Counter to that, if the plasma osmolarity gets too low, as due to low plasma salt with excessive water intake (for example from the condition "water intoxication"), then the plasma will be hypotonic with respect to the intracellular cytosol concentration. This can result in water rushing into the RBCs' membranes via osmosis, causing the cells to swell from discs into spheres (balls), or even rupture and burst (a phenomenon called "hemolysis").

A botanist has the juiciest tomatoes in his backyard garden. what is true about these tomatoes
faltersainse [42]

Option D, they are watered more often than tomatoes grown in other gardens, is the right answer.

The improper watering to the tomato plants can lead to several cultivation issues. Watering tomatoes at after drying them out can also lead to tomatoes to swell suddenly and splitting the peel of the tomatoes which permits fungal germination to take hold causing the complete ruin of the fruit. Therefore, it may noticed that watering plays an important role in the cultivation of tomatoes. It is clear, therefore, that the reason behind the juiciest tomatoes is the watering; the Botanist watered tomatoes plants of his garden more than they were watered in other gardens.
