The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Internodes**: Internodes are the segments of a plant stem between two nodes (the points where leaves are attached). Their elongation is crucial for the overall growth of the plant. 2. **Identifying the Hormones**: The question asks about the factors that contribute to the elongation of internodes. The options provided include different plant hormones. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Gibberellins**: This is a group of plant hormones that promote stem elongation. They are known to increase the length of the internodes, making them a key factor in this process. For instance, gibberellins help in increasing the length of grape stalks. - **Oxygen**: This is not a hormone that promotes internode elongation. Instead, it is more associated with promoting root formation. - **Cytokinins**: These hormones are primarily involved in promoting cell division and lateral bud growth, not specifically in the elongation of internodes. - **Abscisic Acid**: This hormone is involved in various plant processes, including stress responses, but it does not promote internode elongation. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the hormone responsible for internode elongation is **Gibberellins**. Therefore, the correct answer is the first option. **Final Answer**: Internodes elongation is due to Gibberellins. ---
