Explanation

Hydrotropism is a plant’s growth response to water, which is an external stimulus, so statement B is correct. In roots, unequal cell elongation on the two sides bends the root as it grows toward moisture, making statement C correct. Responses to light describe phototropism, not hydrotropism.
