Solution

The correct option is D Gibberellic acid
The seed contains a dormant embryo. In a dry seed, the embryo is inactive. It is said to be in a state of dormancy. After the dormancy period, the process of seed maturation is carried out by a phytohormone named gibberellic acid.
So, the correct option is B.
