Solution
The correct option is C ABA
During the life cycle of a plant, some phase or parts like buds, tubers,
seeds, undergo temporary suspension of their growth activity. This phase is called as the dormant stage. This is a survival strategy adapted by the plant to withstand environmental conditions or any genetic conditions. The changes in environmental conditions makes the meristematic cells found in the buds undergo dormancy. While the onset of short-day or long-dark
photo-periods stimulates the synthesis of various growth inhibiting compounds, ABA helps in inducing dormancy on meristematic tissues of the plant body.
