Solution
The correct option is B Ethylene
Ethylene is responsible for the changes in texture, softening, color, and other processes involved in ripening. Ethylene level in under-ripe fruit is very low, but as fruit develop, the fruit produce larger amounts which speed up the ripening process or the stage of ripening.
