Solution

The correct option is B Lateral axillary buds
Apical dominance is the phenomenon, where the main central stem of the plant is dominant over other side stems; on a branch the main stem of the branch is further dominant over its own side branchlets. Apical dominance is shown by auxin hormone. Thus it prevents the lateral growth, but results in the growth of plant length - wise.
