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.
  • So, the correct option is D.
