Correct Answer
BGibberellins and ABA
CEthylene and ABA
DAll of these

Solution

Auxins and cytokinins are plant growth promoters, the roles played by auxin and cytokinin are as follows.
Auxins: Cell enlargement and longitudinal growth of root and shoot.
Reactivation of cambium in the growth season, that is, responsible for secondary growth, promotes apical dominance and parthenocarpy, inhibits abcission.
Cytokinins: induces morphogenesis that is differentiation of cells into tissues and organs.delays senescence, breaks dormancy and promotes seed germination, enhances expression of a sexual characteristic- femaleness in some plants.
Auxin/cytokinin ratio influences root and shoot formation and growth
So, the correct answer is 'Auxins and cytokinins'
