The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement regarding plant hormones and identify which ones are incorrect. Let’s analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement (i) **Statement (i): Cytokinin is primarily concerned with cell division.** - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. Cytokinins are plant hormones that promote cell division and are involved in various plant growth processes. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement (ii) **Statement (ii): C₂H₄ breaks seed and bud dormancy.** - **Evaluation**: This statement is also correct. Ethylene (C₂H₄) is known to promote the breaking of dormancy in seeds and buds. ### Step 3: Evaluate Statement (iii) **Statement (iii): ABA stimulates the opening of stomata.** - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. Abscisic acid (ABA) actually causes the closure of stomata, particularly during stress conditions like drought, to prevent water loss. ### Step 4: Evaluate Statement (iv) **Statement (iv): C₂H₄ initiates germination in peanut seeds, sprouting of potato tubers.** - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. Ethylene plays a role in promoting germination and sprouting in various plants, including peanuts and potatoes. ### Step 5: Evaluate Statement (v) **Statement (v): ABA is synergistic to GA.** - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. Abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA) have opposing effects; ABA promotes dormancy and inhibits growth, while GA promotes growth and germination. Therefore, they are antagonistic rather than synergistic. ### Conclusion The incorrect statements are: - Statement (iii): ABA stimulates the opening of stomata. (Incorrect) - Statement (v): ABA is synergistic to GA. (Incorrect) ### Final Answer The option that correctly identifies the incorrect statements is option number 3, which includes statements (iii) and (v). ---
