Solution
The correct option is B Gibberellins Gibberellin is a plant hormone that is involved in various physiological processes of plants. It acts as plant growth regulator. It is involved in various processes like stem elongation, germination, flowering and leaf senescence. It breaks the seed dormancy and promotes germination.
