Answer 2

Artificial ripening of fruit:

• Option “C” is correct i.e. Ethylene.

• The hormone ethylene is used for artificial ripening of banana fruit.

The usage of unripe fruits with ethylene gas generates the natural ripening until the fruit itself starts to bring into ethylene in large quantities.
