(B) The phenomenon of flowering in response to the duration of light and dark periods is known as photoperiodism. If a plant flowers multiple times throughout the year under varying day lengths (photoperiods), it indicates that the plant is not dependent on a specific critical day length for flowering. Therefore, such a plant is considered photo-insensitive. Since the question implies that the plant flowers regardless of the changing photoperiods across different seasons in Northern India, option $(b)$ is the most appropriate description in the context of typical plant physiology questions where such plants are classified as thermo-sensitive but photo-insensitive.
