Explanation

The correct matching is as follows: (P) Phototropism - Light, (Q) Geotropism - Gravitation, (R) Hydrotropism - Water, (S) Thigmotropism - Touch. This is because:
Phototropism is the growth of a plant in response to light, Geotropism is the growth in response to gravity, Hydrotropism is the growth in response to water, and Thigmotropism is the growth in response to touch.
