What is the phototropism?
A
response of an organism to seasonal changes in day length.
B
response of the plant to sun
C
response of the plant to gravity
D
response of plant to the touching
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phototropism, or the differential cell elongation exhibited by a plant organ in response to directional blue light, provides the plant with a means to optimize photosynthetic light capture in the aerial portion and water and nutrient acquisition in the roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -One important light response in plants is phototropism, which involves growth toward-or away from-a light source. Positive phototropism is growth towards a light source; negative phototropism is growth away from light.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phototropism is the phenomenon by which the plant bends in the direction of light. Light is required by the plants to stimulate energy production by the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phototropism is the directional response of a plant that allows the plant to grow towards or in some cases away from the light. Process of phototropism: Leaf tips and stem tips have a hormone called auxin which is sensitive to light. It allows the plant to positively grow towards the light source.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sunlight acts as a stimulus for the growth of organisms towards the light (positive phototropism) or away from light (negative phototropism).
