Which one of the following is used for the artificial ripening of fruits?
Correct answer: A. Ethene
- A. Ethene
- B. Propene
- C. Ethane
- D. Ethyne
Explanation
Ethene, also known as ethylene, is the correct answer as it is a gaseous plant hormone that plays a vital role in inducing the ripening process for many fruits. An unripe fruit generally has low levels of ethene, and as the fruit matures, ethylene is produced as a signal to induce fruit ripening. The other options, propene, ethane, and ethyne, are incorrect as they do not serve the same purpose in fruit ripening as ethene does.
