Coiling of garden pea tendrils around any support is an example of:

  1. A
    Thermotaxis
  2. B
    Thigmotaxis
  3. C
    Thigmonasty
  4. D
    Thigmotropism

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Thigmotropism is a directional growth movement in plants in response to a touch stimulus. Pea plant tendrils are sensitive to contact; when they touch a support, the side away from the contact grows faster, causing the tendril to coil around the support.
