Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect Auxin is responsible for apical dominance in apical buds, which inhibits the lateral buds of growing. Plants require a certain day length to flower. This relative length of day and night needed for flowering is called as photoperiod. The effect of photoperiod or daily duration of light hours and dark periods on the growth and development of plants, especially flowering, is called photoperiodism.
