Solution

The correct option is B (a)- (5), (b)- (1), (c)- (4), (d)- (2), (e)- (3)
Phototaxis is the directional movement of plant part in response to the light. Movement of Chlamydomonas is due to phototaxis. Thermotaxis is the directional movement of plant part in response to high temperature. Circular movement of protoplasm in response to warm condition is due to thermotaxis. Chemotaxis is the directional movement of plant part in response to external chemical stimuli. Movement of antherozoids towards archegonia is a chemotactic movement. Hyponasty is is the nastic movement such as upward movement of floral organs due to increased growth on the lower surface. Seismonasty is the nastic movement shown by plant part in response to touch. Drooping of leaf on touching shows seismonastic movement.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
