Solution

The correct option is C Thigmonastic
A flexible hinge located at the base of the stalk of the leaf is called as the pulvinus and a sudden loss of turgor pressure in the motor cells of the pulvinus is called as a thigmonastic movement which is seen in Mimosa pudica.
So the correct option is 'Thigmonastic.'
