The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks for a hormone associated with cell division in plants. 2. **Recall Relevant Hormones**: In plant biology, there are several hormones that play a role in growth and development. Among these, cytokinins are specifically known for their role in promoting cell division. 3. **Define Cytokinins**: Cytokinins are a class of plant hormones that stimulate cell division (cytokinesis) in plant roots and shoots. They are essential for various growth processes. 4. **Additional Hormones**: While cytokinins are primarily associated with cell division, auxins also play a role in regulating cell division, particularly in relation to apical dominance and overall plant growth. 5. **Conclusion**: The primary hormone associated with cell division is cytokinins. Auxins also influence cell division but are more known for their role in growth direction and apical dominance. **Final Answer**: Cytokinins are the hormones associated with cell division. ---
