    (P)​ Zeatin ​​
    (Q)​ Benzylaminopurine (BAP)
    ​​(R) ​Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) ​​
    (S) ​2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
    1. P, Q ​
    2. Q, S ​
    3. P, R
    4. R, S ​
Correct Option: C

Zeatin is a plant hormone derived from the purine adenine. It is a member of the plant growth hormone family known as cytokinins. Zeatin was first discovered in immature corn kernels from the genus Zea. It promotes growth of lateral buds and stimulates cell division to produce bushier plants if sprayed on meristems. Again the Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the most common, naturally-occurring, plant hormone of the auxin class. It is the best known of the auxins, and has been the subject of extensive studies by plant physiologists. ​
