Solution
The correct option is Aα-amylase Gibberellic acid is a plant hormone which breaks the dormancy. Before the germination, starch nourishes seedling. It stimulates the synthesis of amylase enzyme in the aleurone cells of certain cereals. an alpha-amylase hydrolyzes starch into glucose which is used to provide nourishment to the seed embryo.
