Solution

The correct option is B Cytokinin
Cytokinins(CK) are a class of plant growth hormones that promote cell division, or cytokinesis in plants roots and shoots. For example, Kinetin and benzyl-aminopurine.
They are involved primarily in cell growth and differentiation, but also affect apical dominance, axillary bud growth, and leaf senescence.
Hence the plant hormone promotes cell division is Cytokinin.
So, the correct answer is 'Cytokinin'.
