Solution

The correct option is D ethylene
Ethylene is a plant hormone regulator, which is gaseous in nature. It is synthesised in large amounts by tissues undergoing senescence and ripening fruits. Ethylene is highly effective in fruit ripening. It does so by coordinating the expression of genes that are responsible for a variety of processes, including a rise in respiration, autocatalytic ethylene production and changes in color, texture, aroma and flavor.
