Solution

The correct option is D Response of the plant on touch
When the leaves of a sensitive plant are touched, the leaflets fold and the whole leaf droops down immediately. In this movement, no growth takes place. The root grows
towards the earth and the stem grows towards the light is a 'growth movement'.
