Answer:
Apical dominance is a phenomenon in which central stem is dominant and lateral stems are suppressed. It is due to plant hormones produced in the tip of the axillary bud and shoot. Auxin hormone is responsible for apical dominance. When apical bud is removed, the auxin concentration decreases. It results in the growth of lateral branches.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Removal of apical bud'.
