Question 3

Which answer states the growth movements of a plant's stem and root correctly?

The right answer is the one marked above.

The stem is positively phototropic; the root is positively geotropic. The shoot tip grows towards light and the root towards gravity.

"Positively" means towards the stimulus. The shoot tip of a plant potted near a window turning towards the light is easy enough to observe.
