The correct option is A Cytokinin
Cytokinins are the plant growth hormones that play a major role in the cell division and also in the plant development. Leaf senescence is a final stage of the leaf development as all the nutrients will be distributed to other parts and is also defines as the decline in leaf cytokinin. If there is an endogenous application of cytokinin there will be increase in the cytokinin content and delay senescence. Hence, the option A is correct.
Indole acetic acid and napthalene acetic acid are the auxins that promotes rooting.
Gibberlins are the plant growth hormones that are responsible fro the flowering and bolting.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
