Solution

The correct option is D -ve geotropism
“Geo” means earth and “tropism” means movement. The movement towards the earth, due to gravity is called positive (+ve) geotropism like roots; and movement away from the earth is called negative (-ve) geotropism. The growth of shoots towards the sky is an example of negative geotropism.
