Why is it wrong to say that plants do not respond while studying control and coordination in plants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because plants respond to stimuli such as light, gravity, water, and touch
The governing concept is stimulus response in plants. Plants lack a brain and an animal-like nervous system, but their cells detect environmental changes and coordinate responses through chemical signals and growth movements. Shoots may bend towards light, roots respond to gravity and water, and tendrils react to touch. Thus option A is correct; B, C, and D wrongly assign animal features to plants.
