The growth of tendrils in pea plants is due to the:(a) effect of sunlight on the tendrils cells facing the sun(b) effect of gravity on the part of tendril hanging down towards the earth(c) rapid cell division and elongation in tendril cells that are away from the support(d) rapid cell division and elongation in tendril cells in contact with the support

(d) rapid cell division and elongation in tendril cells in contact with the support.

The tendril is a flexible modified shoot or slender stem which is used by the climbing plants (grapes, bitter gourd).

When a tendril comes into contact with a support, there is faster growth for cells on the opposite side so that the tendril rapidly forms a coil around support, making a tendril look like a watch spring.
