Solution

The correct option is A GA
Gibberellic acid is a plant hormone which breaks the dormancy. Before the germination, starch nourishes seedling. It stimulates the synthesis of amylase enzyme in the aleurone cells of certain cereals. Amylase hydrolyses starch into glucose which is used to provide nourishment to the seed embryo.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
