Solution

The correct option is B Cytokinin
The cytokinins are plant growth substances that act primarily on cell division and little or no effect on extension growth. The most important function of cytokinins is the promotion of cell division. It is now well established that these are true cell division factors. The varying amount of cytokinins, along with sufficient auxin is required for the growth of callus in the tissue culture experiments. Thus option B is the correct answer.
