Solution
The correct option is C Higher concentration of cytokinin and lower concentration of auxin Cytokinins are the plant growth hormones that promote cell division in shoot apical meristem while auxins promote the formation of lateral and adventitious roots. So, shoots can be induced by the supply of higher concentration of cytokinin and lower concentration of auxin.
