C
The fertile time for a plant
D
The response of a plant to the length of night
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -“Photoperiodism” is defined as “The response to changes in daylength that enables plants (or any other living organisms) to adapt to seasonal changes in their environment.”

Detailed explanation-2: -What Is Photoperiodism? The relative length of day and night is known as photoperiod. Some plants need to be exposed to sunlight for a particular duration of time to induce flowering. This is the reason behind the seasonal blooming of flowers.

Detailed explanation-3: -PHOTOPERIODISM, THE RESPONSE OF THE PLANT TO RELATIVE LENGTH OF DAY AND NIGHT.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants use light to track time, which is known as photoperiodism. They can tell the time of day and time of year by sensing and using various wavelengths of sunlight. Light can also elicit a directional response in plants that allows them to grow toward, or even away from, light; this is known as phototropism.

Detailed explanation-5: -photoperiodism, the functional or behavioral response of an organism to changes of duration in daily, seasonal, or yearly cycles of light and darkness.
