D
tropism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tropism is a biological phenomenon where an organism, usually a plant, is capable of directed physical movement or growth in response to a specific stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -A tropism is plant movement in response to an external stimulus in the environment. If a plant moves towards a stimulus, then it exhibits positive tropism; if a plant moves away from a stimulus, then it exhibits negative tropism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phototropism is a directional response that allows plants to grow towards, or in some cases away from, a source of light.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant Tropisms A tropism is a turning toward or away from a stimulus in the environment. Growing toward gravity is called geotropism. Plants also exhibit phototropism, or growing toward a light source. This response is controlled by a plant growth hormone called auxin.
