Answer :
The cell in question will lose water to its environment because it is hypotonic to its surrounding environment.
What is an hypotonic solution?
An hypotonic solution is a solution that have a lower osmotic pressure than another solution i.e. it has a lower solute concentration compared to another solution.
According to the osmotic principle, water will move from a region of lower concentration of solute to a region of higher concentration of solute across a semipermeable membrane.
In this question, a cell that has a 1% NaCl (salt) solution inside the cell is placed in an environment that is a 3% NaCl (salt) solution.
This means that the cell is hypotonic to the solution in the environment, therefore, it will lose water to its environment.
