Why is cytokinin especially useful in actively growing regions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it promotes cell division
Cytokinin is a plant hormone whose principal school-level function is to promote cell division, especially in regions where new cells are actively being formed. Increased cell production supports growth and development in meristems and other growing tissues. Therefore option A is correct. Blood-sugar control, heartbeat regulation and reflex arcs belong to animal physiology and are not functions of cytokinin in plants.
