Verified by Toppr

A response of a plant that causes movement independent of the direction of the stimulus is a nastic response. It is not a growth response. This type of response is reversible and can be repeated many times. Seismonasty is a nastic movement in response to shock.When the leaflets are touched, there is rapid folding of the leaflets of the sensitive plant due to changes in turgor pressure. Mimosa pudica is known as touch me not plant for this feature.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
