Expert Solution

Step 1

Note : 0.9% (m/v) NaCl and 5.0% (m/v) glucose is isotonic solution

Solution.A : 1.2% (m/v) NaCl indicates crenation of RBC, because this solution is hypertonic with respect to RBC due to that water inside the RBC passes outside which results RBC to shrink.

Solution.B : 0.52% (m/v) glucose solution indicates hemolysis, because this solution is hypotonic with respect to RBC .

Solution.C :- distilled H2 indicates hemolysis.

Solution.D : 6.36% (m/v) glucose indicates crenation.

Solution.E :- 5.0 % (m/v) glucose and 0.9 % (m/v) NaCl are isotonic so they belongs to niether category.
