Solution

The correct option is A Auxin and ethylene
Ethylene is a fruit ripening hormone. It also induces femaleness in plants. Auxins are the hormones responsible for cell elongation in plants. High auxin concentration increases the synthesis of ethylene and hence help to promote femaleness in dioecious plants. Thus the correct answer is option A.
