Solution

The correct option is A Gibberellins
Gibberellins causes the breaking down of the starch and sugars in the seed which help in seed germination. During the process of malting in the brewing industry, it is necessary that the seeds are acted upon by the enzymes. The application of the gibberellins speeds up the process of malting due to the mobilisation of the enzymes.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
