| 1. | Auxins | A. | Stimulate cell division and growth of lateral buds | 
| 2. | Cytokinins | B. | Promote stem elongation and fruit growth | 
| 3. | Gibberellins | C. | Promote cell enlargement and stem elongation | 
| Assertion(A): | Synthetic auxin herbicides, including 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) have been developed and used for broadleaf weed control. | 
| Reason(R): | Auxins are toxic to plants in large concentrations; they are most toxic to dicots and less so to monocots. | 
| 1. | (A) is True; (R) is False | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) | 
| 3. | (A) is False; (R) is True | 
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) | 
To promote stem elongation, gibberellins act in concert with:
| 1. | Auxins | 2. | Cytokinins | 
| 3. | Ethylene | 4. | ABA |
