Solution

The correct option is B

By the production of enzymes which break down the stored food


Gibberellin breaks up stored food in the seeds by stimulating the production of enzymes. These enzymes help in the regulation of various developmental processes, including stem elongation, seed germination, dormancy, flowering, flower development and leaf and fruit senescence.
