The correct option is C Abscisic acid generally promotes growth
Growth of plants is regulated by a combination of growth-stimulating and growth-inhibiting hormones. ABA (abscisic acid) acts as a general plant growth inhibitor and an inhibitor of plant metabolism.

Gibberellins stimulate cell enlargement. Natural cytokinins are synthesised in regions where rapid cell division occurs.

So, the correct answer is "option B"
