Four cylinders of equal mass are cut from a single potato. One cylinder is placed in distilled water and the others in 0.2\text{ M}, 0.4\text{ M} and 0.8\text{ M} sucrose solution, respectively. Each cylinder is weighed at half-hour intervals for six hours. The graph below shows the results obtained. Which curve MOST likely represents the 0.4\text{ M} sucrose solution?

  1. (A)I
  2. (B)II
