The correct Answer is:
To determine which hormone group is responsible for breaking seed dormancy, we can analyze each of the given options: ABA (Abscisic Acid), Cytokinin, Auxin, and Gibberellin. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Abscisic Acid (ABA)**: - Abscisic Acid is known as an inhibitor hormone. It promotes seed dormancy and inhibits growth. Therefore, it is not responsible for breaking seed dormancy. - **Conclusion**: ABA promotes seed dormancy. 2. **Understand Cytokinin**: - Cytokinins are hormones that promote cell division and growth in plants. They are known to inhibit seed dormancy, thus promoting growth. - **Conclusion**: Cytokinin helps in breaking seed dormancy. 3. **Understand Auxin**: - Auxins are another group of hormones that promote plant growth. They also inhibit seed dormancy, encouraging the seeds to germinate. - **Conclusion**: Auxin helps in breaking seed dormancy. 4. **Understand Gibberellin**: - Gibberellins are growth hormones that promote various developmental processes in plants, including seed germination. They also inhibit seed dormancy. - **Conclusion**: Gibberellin helps in breaking seed dormancy. 5. **Final Evaluation**: - From the analysis, we see that Cytokinin, Auxin, and Gibberellin all play a role in breaking seed dormancy, while Abscisic Acid promotes it. - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **Cytokinin, Auxin, and Gibberellin**. ### Final Answer: The hormone group responsible for breaking seed dormancy is **Cytokinin, Auxin, and Gibberellin**.
