Solution

The correct option is C Thigmonasty
Thignonasty is a nastic response of a plant in response to touch or vibration. Nastic movements occur independant of the direction of stimulus.
While, the tropic movements occur in the direction towards or away from the stimulus.
E.g., Geotropism, hydrotropism, and phototropism.
