Step-by-step solution
A. 2,4 -D is a synthetic auxin widely used as a herbicide to kill dicotyledonous weeds, thus helping in the preparation of weed-free lawns. (A-II) B. IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) is an auxin that helps to initiate rooting in stem cuttings, an application widely used for plant propagation. (B-I) C. Decapitation (removal of shoot tips) overcomes apical dominance, resulting in the growth of lateral buds. This principle is widely applied in hedge-making and tea plantations. (C-IV) D. Auxins are known to induce parthenoc
