Detailed Solution

The closing of the leaves of Mimosa plant is an example of growth-independent movement. 

Growth-independent movements do not result in the growth of the plant. Such movements are also called nastic movements. These movements are independent of the direction of the stimulus and occur due to changes in turgor pressure.

Hence, the correct option is closing of the leaves of Mimosa plant.
