osmosis. I

Explanation:

If an object/ cell is placed in a solution where the concentration is more or stronger than itself(hypertonic solution), it shrinks because water moves out of it, but if it is placed where the concentration of the surrounding solution is lesser than its concentration(hypotonic solution), it swells and can burst because water moves into it. So the mass of the egg will decrease because it is placed in an hypertonic solution (salt water) and the concentration of the salt water is stronger than its concentration
