Answer 1

The correct pair of tropisms that describe the plant's responses with deep roots and tendrils wrapping around objects is:

geotropism and thigmotropism

• Geotropism refers to the growth response of a plant to gravity, which explains the deep roots growing downwards.
• Thigmotropism refers to the growth response of a plant to touch, which explains the tendrils wrapping around objects.
