Solution

The correct option is A Cytokinin
Cytokinin promotes flowering in short day plants. Lemna paucicostata, normally a short day plant, can be induced to flower under long day conditions only when cytokin is provided along with a medium which contains a high level of ferric citrate.
So, the correct answer is option B.
