Solution

The correct option is A Lateral axillary buds
Apical dominance is a phenomenon in which central stem is dominant and lateral axillary buds are suppressed. It is due to plant hormone auxin produced in the tip of the shoot. Auxin hormone is responsible for apical dominance and cytokinin hormone is responsible for breaking the apical dominance.
So, the correct answer is 'Lateral axillary buds'
