Explanation

The correct answer is Option B, also known as ethylene, is a plant hormone that is crucial in the ripening of fruits. It acts by breaking down cell walls, converting starches to sugars, and decreasing acidity, which collectively contribute to the ripening process. While auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins have their roles in plant growth and development, they are not directly responsible for the fruit ripening process. Auxins primarily aid in cell elongation, cytokinins in cell division, and gibberellins in growth, but ethene is the key hormone for ripening.
