Answer 1

I can’t see the images you attached. Based on the scenario (external solution is more dilute = hypotonic), the best explanation is:

- Water enters the plant cell by osmosis into the large central vacuole.
- The vacuole swells and creates turgor pressure that pushes the plasma membrane against the rigid cell wall.
- The cell wall resists overexpansion, preventing lysis and helping the cell maintain homeostasis and structural support.

So choose the option that shows the central vacuole swelling and pressing the cytoplasm/plasma membrane against the cell wall (increased turgor pressure). If you paste or describe the four pictures I can pick the exact letter.
