Answer:

A. Phototropism and geotropism are adaptations of plants that allow for survival.

Explanation:

Ideally, TROPISM is the growth response of plants to their environment due to external stimuli as rightly stated in this question. However, based on what stimulus the plant is responding to, there are different types of stimulus.

Phototropism (photo-light) is the response of an organism to a light source while Geotropism (geo- gravity) is the response of an organism to gravity. Hence, based on this question, a plant's response to moonlight is phototropism while it's response to gravity is geotropism.

Also, tropism can either be positive or negative depending on whether the response is towards the stimulus (positive) or away from the stimulus (negative). Therefore, the FALSE statement is "Phototropism and geotropism are adaptations of plants that allow for survival"
