Solution

The correct option is C Cytokinin
Auxin promotes stem elongation. It is present in high concentration in apical meristem. Gibberellin controls shoot elongation, seed germination and delay the senescence in leaves and fruit. Cytokinin promotes cell growth and division. It is present in higher concentration in developing areas such as young fruits and seeds. Ethylene helps in fruit ripening, senescence and abscission.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
