Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Application of gibberellins the number and size of several fruits e.g. grape, tomato. Size and shape of apple fruits is enhanced by application of `GA_(4)` and `GA_(7)` mixture. Gibberellins (e.g., `GA_(3))` increase the yield of malt from barley grains i.g., malting.
