Options
- A(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
- B(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- C(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
- D(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Correct answer
D. (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
Auxins are known to induce parthenocarpy in specific plants like tomatoes. This matches (A) with (III). Gibberellins promote stem elongation, which is commercially used to increase the length of stems in sugarcane crops, thereby increasing the yield. This matches (B) with (I). Cytokinins help to overcome apical dominance and promote lateral shoot growth. This matches (C) with (IV). Ethylene promotes the formation of female flowers in cucumbers, thereby increasing the crop yield. This matches (D) with (II). Therefor
