Solution

The correct option is B If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Auxin delays abscission of young leaves and fruits. Its effect is through non-formation of abscission zone below a leaf or fruit. Abscission zone cuts off nutrients and water supply. However, auxin promotes the abscission of mature or older leaves and fruits.
