Turning the plants occasionally towards the light will prevent the stems from bending in one direction and promote even growth. Applying auxin, gibberellins, or repotting is not necessary because the bending stems are simply a result of the plants growing towards the light. Watering more frequently may help if the bending is caused by lack of water, but it is not the case stated in the problem. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate solution.
