Solution

The correct option is A If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  • The ability of various parts of sunflower plants to produce gibberellin as measured by the agar diffusion technique was correlated to internode elongation, the region of maximum gibberellin production being associated with the region of maximum extension growth.
  • A cabbage has a characteristic rosette morphology, which means that it has a large amount of leaves very close together and very close to the ground that ultimately form from the stem. In cabbages (as also in lettuce) the internode between nodes on the stem is very, very short, producing a dense cluster of leaves. In case of sunflower, the plant has long internodes with leaves that are far apart.
