Correct Answer: seismonastic movements
Solution : The correct option is seismonastic movements.
When the leaves of the "Touch me not plant" (Mimosa pudica) are touched, they make "seismonastic movements". Seismonastic motions are reversible and quick reactions to mechanical stimuli like touch or vibration. When the leaves of Mimosa pudica are touched, they quickly close or fold together. This is a defence mechanism used by the plant to protect itself from possible predatory herbivores.
