Solution

The correct option is D Maleic hydrazide
Since 1950, maleic hydrazide has been introduced into agriculture as a major commercial herbicide and a depressant of plant growth in numerous circumstances such as suppression of sprouting of vegetables and stored food crops, control of sucker growth on tobacoo plants, retardation of flowering and prolongation of dormancy period. Since 1951 MH has been known as an effective chromosome-breaking agent in higher plants.
