The correct option is D Low temperature
In many plants, the temperature has a profound effect on flowering. Some plants do not flower under the inductive photoperiod conditions but flower when a cold temperature treatment is given to them. This acquisition or acceleration of the ability to flower by a chilling treatment is said to be vernalization. It is the method of inducing early flowering in plants by pretreatments of their seeds at a very low temperature. Thus option B is the correct answer.
