The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the phenomenon where grapevine tendrils entwine around a support. This is a specific type of plant movement. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Thigmotropism - Mutation - Gravitropism - Chemonasty 3. **Defining Each Term**: - **Thigmotropism**: This is a directional growth movement in response to touch stimuli. It is commonly observed in climbing plants and tendrils. - **Mutation**: This refers to changes in the genetic material of an organism, which does not relate to movement. - **Gravitropism (or Geotropism)**: This is the growth movement of a plant in response to gravity, such as roots growing downwards. - **Chemonasty**: This is a movement in response to chemical stimuli, not touch. 4. **Analyzing the Correct Answer**: Since grapevine tendrils wrap around supports due to a response to touch, the correct term that describes this behavior is **Thigmotropism**. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **Thigmotropism**. ---
