Solution

The correct option is C Geocarpy
Members of the genus Arachis exhibit geocarpy. This is a rare form of plant reproduction which involves the plant to plant its own seeds. After fertilization, the flower stalk elongates and bends towards the ground. Geocarpic plants like peanuts increase the opportunity of their offspring to survive long enough to germinate and grow.
So the correct option is C.
