Solution
The correct option is A Cytokinin Cytokinins are planted hormones that cause increased cell division by stimulating the process of mitosis. They are made naturally by plants but have been synthesized by humans. Increased mitosis results in plant growth and the formation of shoots and buds, as well as the development of fruits and seeds.
