    The correct answer is A: Hypertonic solution

    Explanation:

    Syrup is a solution with a high concentration of sugar. When you put the fruit in this solution, the syrup concentration is higher than the sugar concentration inside the fruit, this is called an hypertonic solution. Consequently, there is a gradient of concentration between the interior of fruit cells and the exterior. The water will go out from the cells towards the exterior, in favor of the concentration gradient. In this way, you are removing water from inside the fruit (drying).
