Solution

The correct option is A Grow towards needed resources

Phototropism: Plants grow toward the sunlight to be able to generate energy by photosynthesis.

Geotropism: It is a movement towards or away from the earth. It is a turning or growth movement by a plant in response to gravity.

Both phototropism and geotropism enable plants to grow towards needed resources.
