| 1. | Auxins | 2. | Gibberellins | 
| 3. | Ethylene | 4. | Kinetins | 
| Statement I: | Kinetin occurs naturally in plants. | 
| Statement II: | Zeatin does not occur naturally in plants. | 
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect | 
| 2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct | 
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct | 
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect | 
| Assertion (A): | The most widely used compound as source of ethylene is ethephon. | 
| Reason (R): | Ethephon in an aqueous solution is readily absorbed and transported within the plant and releases ethylene slowly. | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). | 
| 3. | (A) is True; (R) is False. | 
| 4. | (A) is False; (R) is True. | 
| Assertion (A): | Plant growth is intimately linked to the water status of the plant while development is not. | 
| Reason (R): | The plant cells grow in size by cell enlargement which in turn requires water. | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). | 
| 3. | (A) is True; (R) is False. | 
| 4. | (A) is False; (R) is True. | 
| Assertion (A): | Plants retain the capacity for unlimited growth throughout their life. | 
| Reason (R): | Meristems are present at certain locations in plant body. | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains the (A). | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain the (A). | 
| 3. | (A) is True; (R) is False. | 
| 4. | (A) is False; (R) is True. | 
| I: | can be defined as an irreversible permanent increase in size of an organ or its parts or even of an individual cell. | 
| II: | is accompanied by metabolic processes, only anabolic and not catabolic, that occur at the expense of energy. | 
| Statement I: | Development in plants is the sum of two processes: growth and differentiation. | 
| Statement II: | The development of a mature plant from a zygote (fertilised egg) follows a precise and highly ordered succession of events. |
