The correct answer is:
a- true, b-false, c-true, d-true
F.W. Went isolated the auxins from the Avena coleoptiles. Auxins promote apical dominance by inhibiting the growth of lateral buds. Auxins promote flowering in plants like pineapple as it is a growth-promoting hormone-like cytokinin. Auxins do not affect the cytokinin level negatively as they are not antagonistic in function.
