Solution

The correct option is D Desmodium gyrans
Desmodium gyrans is well known as the 'telegraph plant' and famous for its movement. The small lateral leaflets will rotate on their axis, moving in jerky motions under the slightest influence of touch, sunshine, warmth, or small vibrations. At night, they droop downwards.
So, the correct answer is option D.
