Solution

The correct option is C Mimosa plant closing it's leaves when we touch it.
Leaves of mimosa plant folds up in response to touch and not light.
The leaves reopen in few minutes, and it is thought that this adaptation is a defense against grazing herbivores who may be startled by the movement.
It is also commonly known as the touch-me-not plant.
