    In the given case, cell A is placed in 2 % solution of glucose and cell B is placed in 5 % glucose solution. Both the solutions are hypotonic, and when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, then the greatest concentration of water will be outside of the cell. Therefore, water will enter the cell and occupies the central vacuole.

    However, cell B is placed in a more concentrated solution, so it will swell less in comparison to cell A, which is placed in a less concentrated solution. Hence, the correct answer is option A, that is, Cell A will swell more than Cell B.

    The correct option is A.

    Which is cell A will swell more than cell B.

    Explanation: As the cells have same concentrations. So when they put in different solutions, Cells A in 2% glucose will lose less water due to osmosis than cells B which are in 5% glucose solution. Hence cells A will be more swell than cells B.
