Q.	Ethylene	ii.	Maintains seed dormancy
R.	Cytokinin	iii.	Promotes seed germination
S.	Gibberellin	iv.	Promotes fruit ripening
		v.	Inhibits leaf senescence

Choose the correct combination

(a) P–iii, Q–iv, R–i, S–ii

(b) P–ii, Q–iv, R–v, S–iii

(c) P–v, Q–iii, R–ii, S–i

(d) P–iv, Q–ii, R–iii, S–v
