Solution

The correct option is B Gibberellins
Gibberellin is a plant hormone which helps in growth of stem. The rapid growth and flowering with cell division and cell elongation is called as bolting. Bolting requires either long days or cold treatment. Bolting can be induced by higher level of gibberellin under normal conditions. Hence, it induces flowering in some short day plants.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
