Correct answer: D. All of these

  • A. Cytokinin
  • B. Giberellins
  • C. Auxins
  • D. All of these

Explanation

All of the listed hormones (cytokinin, auxins, and gibberellins) can promote parthenocarpy. While it is true that all of these hormones can have some influence on parthenocarpy, their individual roles and significance may vary. Auxins play a crucial role in promoting parthenocarpy by stimulating the growth of the ovary and fruit development in the absence of fertilization. Auxins are considered one of the primary hormones involved in parthenocarpy.
