Answer:
The correct answer will be option- Hypotonic lysis
Explanation:
Lysis process is the breaking down of the membrane of the cell by osmotic and enzymatic mechanisms.
In the given question, the lysis process has been performed using the osmotic mechanisms as the cell was placed in the solution with a low amount of solute thus the high amount of water called hypotonic solution.
When the cell was placed in the hypotonic solution, the water moved inside due to the difference in the concentration gradient which resulted in the swelling of the cell which leads to the rupture of membrane.
Thus, Hypotonic lysis is the correct answer.
