Solution

The correct option is D Auxin
Phototropism is the growth of an organism in response to light stimulus. The response of plants to light was first discovered by Charles Darwin. He discovered that the plant hormone auxin was present on the tip of the stem and played a role in plants bending toward a light source.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
