    The correct answer is c. water to move out of the strawberry, making it smaller

    Explanation:

    Osmosis is the process refers to the movement of liquid molecule from the area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane to equalize the osmotic balance.

    Osmosis is important for any cell to maintain a proper osmotic balance of the cell. So if sugar is sprinkled on a strawberry the solute concentration outside the strawberry cells will increase which will result in water release from the cell.

    This release of water from the cell will shrink the strawberry and make it small. Therefore the correct answer is c.
