A. Water passes out of the cabbage leaves into the salt solution, wilting the leaves.
B. Water passes out of the salt solution and into the bacteria, lysing the bacterial cells.
C. Water passes into the salt solution, dehydrating bacterial cells and making them harmless.

C. Water passes into the salt solution, dehydrating bacterial cells and making them harmless.

Option A is also true but it is irrelevant to the question asked. Option B and D are wrong.
The correct option is C.
