Solution

The correct option is B Weed control
Auxins, manufactured industrially are called Synthetic auxins. eg:2,4-D & 2,4,5-T. They have similar functions like IAA when in small concentration. But when the concentration is increased the growth is disturbed and the plant is legally damaged. Thus they are used for destroying small dicot weeds in the cereal crops.
So, the correct option is 'weed control'.
