The correct option is C Statement A is true but Statement B is false
Explanation: Critical duration is a well-defined period of exposure of plant to light and dark conditions for initiation of flowering in planes. It is different for different plants. Some require exposure less than critical duration such as short day plants. Some plants require exposure more than the critical duration such as long day plants. Also there are plants which are independent of the critical duration. They are called as day-neutral plants.
