    "When the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, it takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. The plant cell is said to have become "turgid" i. e. swollen and hard. The pressure inside the cell rises until this internal pressure is equal to the pressure outside."

    The correct answer will be-cell become swollen and turgid

    Explanation:

    The distilled water is the water produced by the distillation process which removes the impurities and makes it a less solute containing water. The distilled water is thus hypotonic in nature with a low amount of solute and a high amount of water.

    When a plant cell is placed in the hypotonic solution since the interior of the cell contains a high amount of solute then distilled water results in the inward movement of water and cause the swelling of the plant cell and cell as result becomes turgid.

    Thus, the cell becomes swollen and turgid is the correct answer.
