Solution

The correct option is C Responsiveness to stimuli and movement
A creeper planted in the courtyard leans towards a support. A potted plant placed in a window grows towards sunlight. It means living things move of their own accord. The ability of living things to respond to a stimulus is called their responsiveness to stimuli. Responsiveness to stimuli is a characteristic of living things.
