Solution

The correct option is A auxins
It was observed that the coleoptiles of canary grass responded to a source of light by growing towards it (phototropism). After a series of experiments, it was concluded that the tip of coleoptile was the site that caused the bending of the entire coleoptile. Auxin was then isolated from the tips of coleoptiles of oat seedlings to prove this.
