The answer I'm going with is B but I'm unsure. Someone please clarify and explain if I'm wrong. Greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm guessing both sides are filled with the same amount of water. If that's the case, you are correct - B is the answer!

Hypotonic refers to a relatively lower solute concentration. Side A has fewer dissolved particles in it than side B, so it is hypotonic compared to side B. Hypertonic is the opposite - a higher solute concentration - so side B would be hypertonic with respect to side A. Isotonic means equal solute concentrations, which is not the case here.
