  2. Hypertonic
  3. Isotonic
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - C - Isotonic solution is equal on both sides of a semi-permeable membrane. Because of this, there is no gradient created and no resulting water shift initially. Hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration on one side of the semi-permeable membrane. Hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration on one side of the semi-permeable membrane.
