Solution

The correct option is C Thimann
A phytohormone is a plant growth regulator that modulates the formation of stems, leaves and flowers, as well as the development and ripening of fruit. The term includes endogenous and non-endogenous compounds (e.g., active compounds produced by bacteria on the leaf surface) as well as semi-synthetic and fully synthetic compounds. The term 'phytohormone' was coined by Thimann in 1948.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
