Which is an example of response to touch in plants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Folding of Mimosa leaves
Mimosa, commonly called touch-me-not, shows a rapid response when its leaves are touched: the leaflets fold and the leaf may droop. This is a plant movement caused by changes in cells near the leaf base, rather than by muscles or a nervous system. Swimming, running, and flying are animal movements, so option A is the correct example.
