Solution

The correct option is D Root
Phototropism is the movement of the plant body in response to light. Positive phototropism is towards light and negative phototropism is the movement away from light. In plants, two different kinds of phototropic movement can be seen. The shoots respond by bending towards light while roots respond by bending away from it. Hence, roots show negative phototropism.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
