Match the following concerning the activity/function and the phytohormone involved :-

(a) Fruit ripener         (i) Abscisic acid

(b) Herbicide             (ii) GA 3

(c) Bolting agent       (iii) 2, 4-D

(d) Stress hormone   (iv) Ethephon

Select the correct option from following :-

1. (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)

2. (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

3. (a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

4. (a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)

Removal of shoot tips is a very useful technique to boost the production of tea- leaves. This is because

1. Gibberellins prevent bolting and are inactivated.

2. Auxins prevent leaf drop at early stages.

3. Effect of auxins is removed and growth of lateral buds is enhanced.

4. Gibberellins delay senescence of leaves.

Removal of apical dominance by decapitation is utilised for: 
1. Suppressing the activity of intercalary meristem 
2. Early senescence 
3. Hedge making 
4. Preparing weed-free lawns
