A. IAA-Weed free lawn 2-4 D and synthetic indole acetic acid kill the broad leaf weeds. Thus, used as weedicides.

C. Ethylene, a gaseous hormone is responsible for ripening of fruits.
D. GA Gibberellic acid does the phenomenon of bolting, i.e., when sprayed on the plant, it increases the internodal region of stem, thus making a plant extremely tall.
E. Cytokinin was isolated from herring sperm DNA, for the first time.
