D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Behavioural adaptations in plants Behavioural adaptations of plants are behaviours which give them an advantage. All plant shoots grow quickly towards the light to maximise photosynthesis. Growth towards the light and other tropisms ensure that plants can respond to changes in their environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Behavioral Adaptation: Actions animals take to survive in their environments. Examples are hibernation, migration, and instincts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dormancy is an adaptive mechanism that affects the probability of survival of a species. The ability of seeds of many plant species to survive until dormancy recedes and meet the requirements for germination is an adaptive strategy that can act as a buffer against the negative effects of environmental heterogeneity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Four major adaptations are found in all terrestrial plants: the alternation of generations, a sporangium in which the spores are formed, a gametangium that produces haploid cells, and apical meristem tissue in roots and shoots.
