Correct answer

C. ABA

Step-by-step solution

Abscisic acid (ABA) acts as a growth inhibitor and induces dormancy of buds towards the approach of winter. Dormancy of seeds is mainly caused by abscisic acid. Because of its role in inducing dormancy, abscisic acid is also called as dormin. The buds as well as seeds sprout only when the concentration of abscisic acid is overcome by gibberellins.
