B) Auzin inhibits stern elongation
C) Abscisic acid inhibits growth of plants
D) Gibberellin promotes falling of leaves​

Answer 1

Explanation:

c)abscisic acid inhibits growth of plant

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct statement is "Abscisic acid inhibits the plant growth".

Option C

Explanation:

The plant hormones are mainly of five types. They are "Auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, abscisic acid, and ethylene". Among these five, the first three i.e. the auxin, cytokinin and the gibberellin has grown effects on plants in many ways.

But, the abscisic acid and the ethylene has an inhibiting effect on growth. This is because the abscisic acid reduces the strength of plants by dissolving many plant polymers. This induces aging of plants and they actually cannot grow.
