Solution

The correct option is C Ethylene
Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone. It is also called as ripening hormone as it plays the important role in controlling the fruit ripening. During fruits ripening, the respiration rate in fruits is increased by ethylene. Due to increased respiration, complex carbohydrates are broken down into simpler sugars and cell wall becomes soft.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
