What will happen to red blood cells when they are placed in a beaker containing a water solution in which the salt concentration is higher than the salt concentration in the red blood cells?

It's one of these answers: a. The red blood cells will absorb water and increase in size. b. The red blood cells will lose water and decrease in size. c. The red blood cells will first absorb water, then lose water and maintain their normal size. d. The red blood cells will first lose water, then absorb water, and finally double in size. A is wrong, just let you know. Still trying to figure out the answer myself.
