Solution

The correct option is A Root
Phototropism is the plant growth movement in the direction of light (stimulus). While roots grow in the direction opposite to that of light and thus, show negative phototropism (against the stimulus).
The aerial parts of the plants, including stem, flower, leaf, show positive phototropism (growth movement towards the direction of light)
So, the correct answer is option A.
