Solution

The correct option is A If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Leaves of the Mimosa Pudica plant will wither when touched. This is due to a loss in the turgidity pressure in the cells of pulvinus. The direction in which the leaves curl remains the same when they are touched in any direction so this is a seismonastic movement. Thus, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
