Solution

The correct option is D Low temperature
Photoperiodism is the response of plants to the relative length of day and night. The part of the day that would experience light is called the light period or photoperiod. This periodic exposure of light leads to flowering in some plants.

Vernalization is the phenomenon in which flowering depends on the exposure to low temperatures. Vernalization helps the plant achieve proper vegetative growth which is a period of growth of the plant between germination and flowering.

Flowering is the effect of both photoperiodism and vernalization.

High-temperature conditions do not aid vernalization.

Dormancy is the state of inactivity or negligible physiological functions in an organism. The dormancy period is not responsible for vernalization.
