Answer

  1. Swells.

Explanation:

Hypotonic solution is a type of solution in which water concentration in the medium is more than the cell. Water crosses the membrane in both directions, but more water will come into the cell than will leave. The net result is that the water enters the cell. The cells will swell up.
