Solution
The correct option is B Gibberellic acid
In the 19th century Japanese farmers observed that the seedlings of rice were abnormally elongated due to infection of some fungus. This fungus was then isolated and studied and named as 'Gibberella fujikuroi'. This effect was termed as 'foolish seedling disease'. Later, it cleared the path to studies on gibberellic acid, which helps in stem elongation in plants.
So, the correct answer is 'Gibberellic acid'
