Which option gives the best match between plant hormone and function?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cytokinin and cell division
The governing concept is the specific function of plant hormones. Cytokinins stimulate cell division and support growth in actively dividing tissues, so option A gives a scientifically correct hormone-function pair. Abscisic acid generally inhibits growth and helps plants respond to stress, while gibberellin affects plant growth rather than blood sugar. Auxin regulates plant growth and tropic responses, not heartbeat; therefore B, C, and D are incorrect.
