The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Context**: The question pertains to the effect of gibberellic acid (GA) on juvenile conifers and its role in hastening maturity and seed production. 2. **Definition of Gibberellic Acid (GA)**: GA is a type of gibberellin, which is a plant growth regulator known for its various physiological effects on plants, including promoting growth and development. 3. **Effect of GA on Plant Growth**: Gibberellins, including GA, are known to influence several processes in plants: - They promote stem elongation. - They enhance fruit development and shape. - They delay senescence (aging) in plants, allowing fruits to remain on trees longer. 4. **Application to Juvenile Conifers**: When juvenile conifers are sprayed with GA: - The application of GA is expected to hasten the maturity period of these young conifers. - This hastening of maturity leads to earlier seed production. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the effects of GA on plant growth and the specific context of juvenile conifers, the statement "Spraying juvenile conifers with GA hastens the maturity period thus leading to early seed production" is **true**. ---
