Solution

The correct option is D Stimualtes rapid stem elongation
The gibberellins are plant growth hormones that enhance the longitudinal growth of the stem when applied to the intact plant. Gibberellins produce extraordinary elongation of stems and leaf sheaths in intact plants. The elongation of the stem is caused due to cell division and cell elongation induced by gibberellic acid. Thus option D is the correct answer.
