B Correct answer
Explanation

Nastic movements are non-directional responses to stimuli (paratonic). P is correct. Q is correct because both turgor changes AND differential growth can cause nastic movements. R is correct - nyctinasty (sleep movements) is nastic. S is INCORRECT because nastic movements are induced by external (exogenous) stimuli like light, touch, or temperature, not endogenous ones. Therefore S is the only incorrect statement.
