Q. Coiling of garden pea tendrils around any support is an example of

A) Thermotaxis
B) Thigmotaxis
C) Thigmonasty
D) Thigmotropism
Explanation

[Solution from source] Tendril coiling is a directional growth response to contact with a support, which makes it a tropism to touch (thigmotropism). Taxis means movement of a whole free-moving organism or cell, and a nastic movement such as Mimosa leaf folding does not depend on the direction of the stimulus. Answer (4).
