Answer:  A. nastic response

Explanation:

The thigmonasty is a kind of response shown by a plant towards touch and vibration stimuli. It is generally produce in response to changes in plants that occur due to turgor pressure within a cell. The plants generally show this kind of response so as to decrease their surface area so that they can be protected by the grazing herbivores. Also some insectivorous plants like Venus fly trap use it to trap insects when they come in contact of the plant.

On the basis of the above explanation, The leaves of a plant fold inward when touched as a way to defend themselves from potential harm is the example of A. nastic response.

What is meant by transpiration is a necessaru evil?
3241004551 [841]
In plants, transpiration is a process which is inevitable but potentially harmful, because it can cause loss of water. Loss of water can lead to wilting and eventual death of the plant. Even a little stress can interfere with the plant's growth process. 

But, at the same time, transpiration is necessary because of a number of reasons - the transpiration stream aids the processes of mineral absorption, water absorption, energy exchange, helps provide the plant with optimum turgidity, it helps the exchange of gases and so on.
