_ and cytokinins stimulates fruit ripening.

Correct answer: C. Option C: Ethylene

  • A. Option A: Cytokinins
  • B. Option B: Abscisic acid
  • C. Option C: Ethylene
  • D. Option D: Auxin

Explanation

Ethylene is the correct answer because it is the primary plant hormone responsible for promoting fruit ripening. It accelerates the changes in fruit texture, color, and flavor, making it edible. While cytokinins, abscisic acid, and auxin have important roles in plant growth and development, they do not specifically trigger the ripening process like ethylene does.
