The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Hydrophilic Groups:** - Hydrophilic groups are parts of molecules that are attracted to water and can dissolve in it. These groups typically contain polar bonds and can form hydrogen bonds with water. 2. **Identifying the Options:** - The options provided are: - A) Oxins - B) Cytokinins - C) Gibberellins - D) Ethylene 3. **Analyzing Each Option:** - **Oxins:** - Oxins are plant hormones that promote apical dominance but do not have a highly specific hydrophilic group. Thus, they are not the correct answer. - **Cytokinins:** - Cytokinins are known for promoting cell division and are present in roots and shoots. Their structure includes hydroxyl (OH) groups, indicating they have a high hydrophilic nature, which allows them to readily absorb and transport water. This makes them a strong candidate for having a highly specific hydrophilic group. - **Gibberellins:** - Gibberellins are involved in fruit shape, ripening, and elongation but do not have a highly specific hydrophilic group. - **Ethylene:** - Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone and does not possess a hydrophilic group. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis, **Cytokinins** are the compounds that have a highly specific hydrophilic group due to their structure that includes hydroxyl groups. **Final Answer: Cytokinins** ---
