A hypotonic solution

Explanation:

correct answer is A hypotonic solution Because the hypotonic solvents are diluted, the water in the solution passes through the half-layers of the blood cells, causing them to swell. This can temporarily increase blood pressure, as it increases circulation volume. Hypertonic solutions remove water from body cells, while isotonic solutions have little effect on the distribution of body fluids. Blood transfusions do not enter the body's cells.
