When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell may shrink. If the cell decreases in size, its ability to eliminate wastes by diffusion would
A. decrease because the solution would prevent materials from leaving the cell
B. decrease because the cell would now have less waste needing to be disposed of
C. increase because the surface-area-to-volume ratio of the cell would increase
D. increase because water and wastes would be drawn out of the cell into the solution
