Solution
The correct option is A Elongation of internodes
Gibberellic acid stimulates intercalary meristem which promotes elongation of the internode. This is called as bolting effect.
Bolting is when agricultural and horticultural crops prematurely produce a flowering stem before the crop is harvested in a natural attempt to produce seeds.
