Answer 2

3. Both plants have remarkable responsiveness (Correct answer)

Explanation:

Mimosa (touch-me-not plant) and Nepenthes (pitcher plant) are typical examples of plants exhibiting nastic movements, which are movements in response to external stimuli.

• The leaves of Mimosa are sensitive to touch, even with a gentle touch, all the leaves and leaflets fold slowly.

• In Nepenthes, which is a carnivore, the pitcher-shaped part is modified leaf and its lid modified leaf apex. The rim of the pitcher is so sensitive that when an insect sits on it, the lids closes making the insect fall into the pitcher where it gets digested by the plant enzymes.
