Solution

The correct option is B Gibberellins
Gibberellins break seed dormancy of buds and tubers. But in root tubers, it inhibits the development of root tuber. It enhances seed germination by enhancing alpha amylase synthesis and thus results in breaking seed dormancy. Thus, the production of digestive enzymes like alpha amylase is an action of gibberellin.
