The movement in peristome teeth of moss is (a) Hydrochasy.

Hydrochasy refers to the opening and closing of structures in response to changes in humidity or moisture levels. Peristome teeth in mosses are hygroscopic, meaning they change shape and open or close in response to humidity changes, thereby regulating spore release. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Hydrochasy.
