The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Fruit Drop**: - Fruit drop refers to the premature shedding of fruit from a plant before it has fully ripened. 2. **Role of Auxin**: - Auxin is a plant hormone that plays a crucial role in preventing abscission (the process of shedding) of fruits and leaves. 3. **Auxin Production**: - Young leaves and fruits produce auxin, which helps them remain attached to the stem. 4. **Auxin Levels and Fruit Drop**: - If the concentration of auxin in the fruit decreases compared to the concentration of auxin in the stem, this imbalance can lead to fruit drop. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, fruit drop occurs when the fruit has less auxin compared to the stem. 6. **Correct Answer**: - The correct answer to the question is that fruit drop occurs when the fruit has "less auxin as compared to the stem."
