    Both saline and NaCl solutions can be grouped as salt solution.

    So by the given percentages, we can conclude that the cell has a higher water potential than the solution because it has a lower salt concentration.

    In this case, the water molecules will flow from the cell to the solution, down the water potential gradient due to osmosis.

    Osmosis is always the flow of water molecules from the region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a semi permeable membrane, which is the cell membrane.

    Since so much water is lost from the cell, the cytoplasm will shrink and detach from the cell wall. When this happens, we call this phenomenon plasmolysis.

    So the answer should be the cytoplasm shrinks and detach from cell wall.
