Answer :

I’m not sure if I’m correct but I think it’s A) they undergo crenation, I’m sorry if I’m wrong

The correct answer is option A. They undergo crenation.

What if red blood cells are placed in a hypotonic solution?

When red blood cells are placed in the hypotonic solution, there is a net movement of free water into the cells. In this situation, the intracellular solute concentration is low and the intracellular volume is increased. The total solute concentration of the solution will be high.

When red blood cells are in a hypertonic (high concentration) solution, water exits the cell faster than it enters the cell. This leads to the creation (contraction) of blood cells.
