Solution

The correct option is C towards

Sunflower is a flower that is sensitive to the direction of sunlight and therefore turns in the direction of the light. Therefore ‘towards’ would be the apt answer since ‘towards’ means to move/turn in the direction of something. Hence option C is correct. Whereas both ‘with’ and ‘from’ are inappropriate because ‘with’ is used to denote company or being alongside something/someone while ‘from’ is used to denote a starting point. The Sun is neither turning along ‘with’ the sunflower nor is it the starting point. Thus options A and B are incorrect. On the other hand, the Sun is not a place inside which the sunflower blooms or turns, so option D is incorrect.
