Solution

The correct option is A Bushy
Apical dominance is a phenomenon in which main stem grows faster than the lateral branches. Apical bud produces auxin hormone that promotes apical dominance and inhibits growth of the lateral buds. When the apical bud is removed, the source of auxin is removed. Due to this, the lateral buds grow faster and makes plant bushy.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
