Solution

The correct option is A A , B and C
Etheophon is the most widely used growth regulator for the source of ethylene.
Auxins used to promote shoot elongation and carbohydrates are produced in mature leaves and will get transported to other parts of the plants.
But gibberellins won't promote the growth of plumule and radicle in seed germination.
So, the correct option is 'A, B and C.'
