the answer is A (cytokinins)

Answer 2

Answer:

Cytokinins

Explanation:

Cytokinins are a class of phytohormones found in large quantities in the root apex, leaves, fruits and seeds. It is noteworthy that the main site of synthesis is in the roots, where they promote root development. Once synthesized in the root apex, this hormone is known to migrate to other parts of the plant via xylem, where it participates in the breakdown of apical dominance, proves cell division, among other functions.
