Solution

The correct option is A

Kinetin


In order to initiate plant tissue culture, one needs; explants, suitable culture/growth media, aseptic conditions to curb growth of microorganisms, water, growth regulators (auxins and cytokinins), and frequent sub culturing to avoid accumulation of waste metabolite and enhance nutrition.

Cytokinins- these are purine derivatives that support cell division. The two main types of cytokinins used in tissue culture are benzylaminopurine (BAP) and kinetine.
