Question #2
Which of the following is a plant hormone that promotes seed germination?
A. Cytokinin
B. Abscisic acid
C. Ethylene
D. Gibberellin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Gibberellins stimulate seed germination by activating synthesis of hydrolytic enzymes (amylase) that break down stored food reserves. They also promote stem elongation. Abscisic acid inhibits germination and promotes dormancy. Ethylene is for ripening, cytokinins for cell division. The GA:ABA ratio determines germination vs dormancy.
