Solution

The correct option is B Root apex
Cytokinin is a plant hormone. It promotes cell division. It also delays the destruction of chlorophyll and protein. It shows delay of senescence in leaves. It is mostly produced in the root apex. When an excised leaf is induced to root, it does not turn yellow because root apex synthesizes cytokinin hormone.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
