Solution
The correct option is D Abscisic Acid
Abscisic acid is a carotenoid-derived plant hormone known to regulate critical functions in growth, development and responses to environmental stress.
It plays a key role in the regulation of stomatal closure by regulating ion channel activities and water exchanges across the plasma membrane of guard cells.
It increases the influx of calcium ions and efflux of potassium ions, which results in the closure of stomata.
