Solution

The correct option is A Thigmotropism
The movement of plant part in response to contact with a solid touch is called as thigmotropism. The twining movements due to support seen in tendrils and twiners is an example of thigmotropism. Seismonasty is the nastic response of a plant to touch or vibration. Dropping of leaves of Mimosa pudica upon touching is due to seismonasty. Heliotropism is a growth movement or bending of stem in the direction of the light. It is also called as solar tracking. Diageotropism is plant part response to the gravity such that it grows horizontal to the gravity.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
