Solution

The correct option is D Auxin in shoot tip
Apical dominance in plants refers to the condition where the apical bud is prominent hence keeping the central stem dominant. It doesn't allow the proliferation of lateral buds. It is caused due to production of auxin in the apical bud. This results in prevention of growth of lateral buds in plants.
