Verified step by step guidance

Identify the solute concentration inside and outside the cell. The image shows 20% solute inside the cell and 80% solute outside the cell.

Understand the concept of osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration.

Determine the direction of water movement. Since the solute concentration is higher outside the cell (80%) compared to inside (20%), water will move out of the cell to the area of higher solute concentration.

Predict the effect on the cell. As water leaves the cell, the cell will lose volume and shrink.

Conclude that the cell will shrivel due to the loss of water, which is consistent with the correct answer provided.
