Solution

The correct option is A True
Phytochromes are the hormones that are light dependent and are bluish green pigments that are involved in the developmental processes. They are light dependent and activates the inactivated form of phytochrome. They sometimes are useful in seed germination and cell elongation but stops the elongation of the stem when getting too exposed to far-red light and get inactivated.
So, the correct statement is 'True'.
