D)firm closure of the trap when a large number of stimuli are received

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Venus flytrap closes firmly when it receives a large number of stimuli, indicating that multiple action potentials trigger a stronger response, leading to the firm closure of the trap to ensure the capture of prey.
