A

auxins

B

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Presence of cytokinin in an area caues preferetial movement of nutrients towards it. When applied to lateral buds, they help in their growth despite the presence of apical bub. They thus act antagonistically to auxin which promotes apical dominance. Therefore, cytokinin can overcome apical dominance, caused by auxins.
