Solution

The correct option is C Ethylene
Plant hormones are also called as phytohormones. These are essential to plants as they perform many important functions such as growth, flowering, phototropism, stem elongation, cell division, the ripening of fruit, etc. There are 5 major plant hormones, namely auxin, cytokinin, ethylene, abscisic acid, and gibberellin. Out of these hormones, ethylene is found in the gaseous form. It helps in the ripening of fruits.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Ethylene.'
