Solution

The correct option is C F. W. Went
C. Darwin and F. Darwin observed that the coleoptiles of canary grass responded to phototropism. But it was F. W. Went who first isolated auxin from the tips of coleoptiles of oat seedlings. Later on, F. Skoog studied the role of auxin in nutrient medium.
