Solution
The correct option is B plasticity Morphological and physiological changes occur in organisms to adapt in the environment. The ability of a plant to follow different pathways and produce different structures in response to environment is known as plasticity.
Heterophylly is the different types of leaves in a plant due to environment factors or life cycle of the plant (juvenile or mature).
Vernalisation is the phenomenon of plants for which flowering is either quantitatively or qualitatively dependent on exposure to low temperature.
The measure of the ability of the plant to produce new plant material is referred to as efficiency index.
