The term stress hormone is used to refer

  1. ethylene

  2. ABA

  3. gibberellins

  4. IAA


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

ABA is a stress hormone. Abscisic acid appears to maintain winter dormancy in buds. It prevents seeds from germinating while still attached to the parent plant, and it inhibits stem elongation. Through its effects on stomatal opening, it also regulates gas and water exchange between leaves and the atmosphere.
