Solution

The correct option is B If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
When cytokinins are added directly to the abscission layer, senescence of the zone is retarded. This delays the degradation of protein and chlorophyll of the plant parts and hence delays senescence. As they act as anti senescent, they act as antagonistic to ethylene which accelerates senescence.
So, the correct answer is 'If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion'
