	Phytohormones		Functions
A	Auxins	p	Breaking seed dormancy
B	Gibberellins	q	Inducing fruit ripening
C	Cytokinins	r	Growth inhibitor
D	Ethylene	s	Root initiation
		t	Promote cell division

• A. A-r, B-s, C-p, D-t
• B. A-p, B-r, C-q, D-s
• C. A-s, B-t, C-r, D-q
• D. A-s, B-p, C-t, D-q

Answer 1

The correct option is D A-s, B-p, C-t, D-q

• Auxins cause root initiation. They are responsible for the apical dominance seen in plants.
• Fruit ripening is promoted by spraying ethylene to the fruits.
• Cytokinins promote cell division.
• Gibberellins help in breaking seed dormancy.

So, the correct option is D.
