Solution
The correct option is C Phytochelatins
Phytochelatins are oligomers of glutathione, produced by the enzyme phytochelatin synthase. They are found in plants, fungi, nematodes and all groups of algae including cyanobacteria. Phytochelatins act as chelators, and are important for heavy metal detoxification.Allelopathy is defined as the interaction between plants and microorganisms by a variety of compounds usually referred to as allelopathins. They are used as as bioherbicides. Phytoalexins are antimicrobial and often antioxidative substances synthesized de novo by plants that accumulate rapidly at areas of pathogen infection. Abscisic acid, also known as ABA functions in many plant developmental processes, including bud dormancy.So, the correct answer is 'Phytochelatins'
