Solution
The correct option is B Seismonasty
Seismonasty- A nastic movement in response to shock, espcially the rapid folding of the leaflets of the sensitive plant due to changes in turgor pressure caused by vibration.Thermonasty- A nastic movement in response to a temperature change, as occurs in the opening of certain flowers
Photonasty- A nastic response of a plant organ to the stimulus of light.
Nyctinasty is the circadian rhythmic nastic movement of higher plants in response to the onset of darkness. For examples are the closing of the petals of a flower at dusk and the sleep movements of the leaves of many legumes.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
