Solution

The correct option is B Cytokinin
Cytokinin are growth promoting phytohormones. Cytokinins are structurally similar to adenine, a purine base that is part of DNA and RNA molecules. Cytokinins are predominantly synthesized in roots. One effect of cytokinins on plant cells is to delay the aging process. Plant cells, like all living cells, go through a natural aging process known as senescence.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
