Solution

The correct option is A Abcisic acid
During drought, plants produce a hormone known as abscisic acid (ABA). It causes the closure of stomata under the condition of water stress and hence prevents the loss of water by the process of transpiration. It has other functions like delayed fruit ripening, delays cell division, inhibits the synthesis of kinetin nucleotide etc.
So, the correct answer is option B.
