Solution

The correct option is A Bushy
Apical dominance is a phenomenon in which central stem is dominant and lateral stems are suppressed. It is due to plant hormones produced in the tip of the shoot. Auxin hormone is responsible for apical dominance. When apical bud is removed, lateral buds grow and the plant grows bushy.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
