Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
Options
- AAbscisic acid - Stomatal closure
- BGibberellic acid - Leaf fall
- CCytokinin - Cell division
- DIAA - Cell wall elongation
Correct answer
B. Gibberellic acid - Leaf fall
Step-by-step solution
Gibberellic acid is a growth promoter thus it inhibits leaf fall. Abscisic acid is commonly called stress hormone and it promotes closure of stomata. Cytokinin promotes cell division. IAA is an auxin that induces cell elongation and cell division resulting in plant growth and development.
