Why are lateral buds often inhibited from sprouting even though a stem may be actively elongating?
A) The cells of lateral buds are more sensitive to auxin than stem cells.
B) Lateral buds are high in abscisic acid which prevents elongatin.
C) Lateral buds are low in gibberellins.
D) Stem cells lack receptors for auxin.
E) Stem cells can overcome auxin inhibition with high levels of gibberellins.
