Solution

The correct option is B Auxin
In unisexual plants, auxin is the plant hormone which is responsible for the sex changed. Application of auxin increases the number of female flowers and decreases the number of male flowers.
For example, The flowers of plant like cucumber are unisexual, both male and female flowers are borne on the same plant but these plants produce a large number of male flowers and produce only a few female flowers. Application of auxin will reverse this condition. Hence option B is correct.
