The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the four statements provided and determine their validity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A:** - Statement A claims that ABA (abscisic acid) is derived from violaxanthin and is known as the anti-GA hormone. - **Evaluation:** This statement is true. ABA is indeed derived from violaxanthin and is known to inhibit growth, acting antagonistically to gibberellins (GA). 2. **Analyze Statement B:** - Statement B states that ethylene increases the number of male flowers. - **Evaluation:** This statement is false. Ethylene is known to promote femaleness in flowers, while gibberellins promote maleness. 3. **Analyze Statement C:** - Statement C mentions that extrinsic factors like temperature and light control plant growth and development via PGRs (Plant Growth Regulators). - **Evaluation:** This statement is true. Extrinsic factors such as temperature and light do influence plant growth and development through the action of PGRs. 4. **Analyze Statement D:** - Statement D states that GA (gibberellins) is used to speed up the malting process in the brewing industry. - **Evaluation:** This statement is true. Gibberellins are indeed used to accelerate the malting process in brewing. ### Conclusion: - From the analysis, we find that: - Statement A: True - Statement B: False - Statement C: True - Statement D: True Thus, the correct option is that only statement B is incorrect, while statements A, C, and D are correct. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Only B is incorrect.** ---
