Solution

The correct option is B Letham
Cytokinins are a class of plant growth substances that promote cell division or cytokinesis in plant roots and shoots. They are involved primarily in cell growth and differentiation, but also affect apical dominance, axillary bud growth and leaf senescence. Letham first synthesized it from corn milk.
