Solution

The correct option is A Shoot apex
Auxin is a plant hormone. It is produced in high concentration at the shoot apex. Apical dominance is a phenomenon in which central stem is dominant and lateral stems are suppressed. It promotes stem elongation and inhibits growth of lateral buds. Hence, low concentration of auxin inhibits growth in shoot.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
