The correct option is A Phytohormones
Plant hormones are known as phytohormones. These accelerate the several metabolic activities of the plant like cell differentiation, cell elongation, etc. The plant hormones are auxin, cytokinin, gibberellins, ethylene and abscisic acid. Auxins promote cell elongation, cytokinin promotes cell division, gibberellins helps to promote stem elongation, ethylene helps in the ripening of the fruits, ABA helps the plant to adapt to the stress.
So, the correct answer is option B.
