Solution
The correct option is AMimosa plant Mimosa pudica is called as touch-me-not plant. It wilts as a response to touch or a similar stimulus.
The leaves wilts as a result of the internal movement of water. A stimulus, such as a touch, triggers certain areas of the stem to release chemicals, which cause water to move from cell vacuoles to intercellular space which leads to cell shrink.
