Solution

The correct option is B Gibberellins
Gibberellin is a plant hormone which breaks the seed dormancy. Before the germination, starch nourishes seedling. It stimulates the synthesis of digestive enzymes like amylase in the aleurone cells of certain cereals. Amylase hydrolyzes starch into glucose which is used to provide nourishment to the seed embryo.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
