The correct answer is:
lower its water potential
Water potential is the measurement of chemical potential of water. The pure water has zero water potential. This is measured with the help of solute potential, pressure potential, and matric potential.
The greater the concentration of water in a system, the greater is its water potential. If more solute is dissolved in water, the solution has less free water molecules and hence the water potential is decreased.
