Solution

The correct option is D Ethylene gas
Ethylene is also known as the ripening hormone. It is synthesised in ripening fruits, flowers, leaves, and even roots. Stimulation of fruit ripening by ethylene is more prominent in climacteric fruits. It initiates a chain of reactions in fruits responsible for the changes in texture, softening, colour and other processes.
Thus the correct answer is option D.
