Pickles are cucumbers preserved in a brine solution containing dill, alum, and salt. cucumbers shrink to a fraction of their normal size in the pickle jar. this happens because of the relative salt content of the pickling solution, which is a(n) solution.

a) osmotic
b) hypotonic
c) isotonic
d) hypertonic

Hypertonic solution

Explanation: In hypertonic solutions solute concentration is higher that those inside the cells. That means there is a different pressure in and out of the cell and in order to reach the equilibrium the cell has to release water to the medium and ever the concentration. As a result of this stressful conditions cells shrink which make pickles smaller.
