Solution

The correct option is A Drosera
Nyctinasty and thigmonasty are observed in Drosera. Nyctinasty is the circadian rhythmic nastic movement of higher plants in response to the onset of darkness. Examples are the closing of petals of a flower at dusk and the sleep movements of the leaves of many legumes. Thigmonasty or seismonasty is the nastic response of a plant or fungus to touch or vibration. Examples: many species in the leguminous subfamily, Mimosoideae. etc.
