Correct answer: C. Promote bud initiation and delay leaf senescence
- A. Delay both bud initiation and leaf senescence
- B. Promote both bud initiation and leaf senescence
- C. Promote bud initiation and delay leaf senescence
- D. Promote leaf senescence and delay bud initiation
Explanation
The correct answer is that auxins and gibberellins promote bud initiation and delay leaf senescence. These plant hormones are involved in various growth processes, including the stimulation of bud growth. They help maintain the plant's vitality by delaying the aging of leaves, which is a process known as leaf senescence. The incorrect options either misstate the effects of these hormones on buds and leaves or reverse their roles entirely.
