Solution

The correct option is B

Movement in response to water


Movement of plants in response to water or moisture is called hydrotropism. Here, water is a stimulus to which the plant can show two responses:
i) It can move towards the water source - positive hydrotropism.
ii) It can move away from water source - negative hydrotropism.
