Solution

The correct option is C Abscisic acid
The plant growth regulators are small, simple molecules of diverse chemical composition. Abscisic acid is a derivative of carotenoids.

Gibberellic acid is made up of terpenes (a hydrocarbon that forms the building blocks of some plant hormones).

Cytokinins are a modified form of adenine.

IAA or indole-3-acetic acid are composed of indole groups.
