The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Role of Ethylene**: Ethylene is a plant hormone that plays a significant role in the ripening of fruits. It is known to hasten the ripening process. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option A**: Retarding ripening of tomatoes - This is incorrect because ethylene does not slow down ripening; it promotes it. - **Option B**: Fastening of ripening of fruits - This is correct as ethylene is known to accelerate the ripening process. - **Option C**: Slowing down ripening of apples - This is also incorrect for the same reason as option A. - **Option D**: Both B and C - This is incorrect because while B is correct, C is not. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options, the correct answer is **Option B**: Fastening of ripening of fruits.
