Solution
The correct option is D Day neutral plants Photoperiodism can also be defined as the developmental responses of plants to the relative lengths of light and dark periods. A plant that flowers regardless of the length of the period of light it is exposed to is called as day neutral plant. For example, Rice, corn and the cucumber are day neutral plants. Short day plants can flower only when the day lengths are shorter than their critical day length. Long day plants are plants which require more daylight for their flowering to be induced e.g., wheat, potato, etc.
