Answer 11

C is not the answer, the question uses the word "stimulus", it is the environmental changes happening outside the organism. Stimulus stimulates the organism to give a response to certain environmental changes.

Option C says how the plant is responding to a change in it's environment, however that is not the stimulus.

As the insect touches that particular part of the plant, that information is picked up by the plant's touch receptors so the answer is D.
