Vedclass · Answer

(B) The closure of the lid in a Pitcher Plant $(Nepenthes)$ is a type of nastic movement,specifically a thigmonastic movement.These movements are caused by changes in the turgor pressure of the cells in the pulvinus or hinge region.Since these movements are induced by external stimuli (like the touch of an insect) but are independent of the direction of the stimulus,they are classified as turgor movements.
