Use the scenario to answer the question.

Your teacher gives you a group of four pea plants (Plants A–D) to use in an experiment. Initially, all of the plant stems are straight and pointing upward. You decide to cover the tip of Plant A in foil, place a transparent cap on the tip of Plant B, and wrap foil around the stem base of Plant C. Plant D is used as a control and has no coverings.

If a light source is placed to the left of the plant group, which plants will bend toward the light source?

Plants B, C, and D.

Explanation: Phototropism is sensed at the shoot tip. Foil over the tip (Plant A) blocks light perception so it won't bend. A transparent cap (B) still lets the tip detect light, and wrapping foil around the stem base (C) doesn't block the tip, so both C and the control D will bend toward the light.
