The correct option is B ABA
Abscisic acid (ABA) was discovered for its role in regulating abscission and dormancy. It is the hormone believed to be responsible for controlled abscission of mature leaves and fruits from plants. But like other PGRs, it also has other wide ranging effects on plant growth and development. It acts as a general plant growth inhibitor and an inhibitor of plant metabolism. ABA inhibits seed germination. ABA stimulates the closure of stomata in the epidermis and increases the tolerance of plants to various kinds of stresses. Therefore, it is also called as the stress hormone.Thus, the correct answer is option B.
