Solution

The correct option is B
Gibberellin – internodal elongation

Auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin and ethylene are hormones that are present in plants. Gibberellins promote internodal growth and cell elongation. Auxin, produced in the apical part of the plant, helps in enlargement of cells. Cytokinin brings about cell division. Ethylene, the only gaseous hormone, promotes ripening of fruits.
