Solution

The correct option is C Mimosa
Pulvinus is a group of cells at the base of a leaf or leaflet in certain plants that by rapidly loosing or gaining water, brings about changes in the position of the leaves. In the sensitive plant Mimosa pudica (legume), the pulvinus is responsible for the folding of the leaves that occurs at night fall or when the plant is touched or injured.
