Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Cytokinins play a vital role in morphogenesis in plants. It oppose initiation of roots in stem cuttings treated with auxin and results in the formation of callus at the cut end. It is now well known that kinetin-auxin interaction controls the morphogenetic differentiation of shoot and root meristems.
