NISHANTH · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [Option 4]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant hormones and their functions
	**Related Topics**: Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Abscisic acid
	**Prerequisites**: Understanding of plant physiology and hormonal roles
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	1. Auxins promote growth in plants.
	2. Gibberellins are derived from the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi.
	3. Cytokinins are associated with cell division, and herring sperm DNA is a source of cytokinins.
	4. Abscisic acid is primarily involved in stress responses, not flowering.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Identify the function of each hormone.
		Reasoning: Each hormone has specific roles in plant growth and development.
		Formula/Rule: No specific formula applies here; it's knowledge-based.
	2. Compare each pair with established scientific knowledge.
		Working: Match functions with their respective hormones.
		Key Point: Abscisic acid does not facilitate flowering; it's more involved in dormancy and stress responses.
	3. Conclude which pair is incorrect.
		Result: The incorrect pair is Abscisic acid – Flowering hormone.
		Verification: Cross-reference with botanical literature.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: Auxins – To grow: Correct, as auxins promote growth.
[B] :x: Gibberellins – Gibberella fujikuroi: Correct, as gibberellins are derived from this fungus.
[C] :x: Cytokinins – Herring sperm DNA: Correct, as herring sperm DNA is indeed a source of cytokinins.
[D] :x: Abscisic acid – Flowering hormone: Incorrect, as abscisic acid is not a flowering hormone.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Misunderstanding the roles of plant hormones: Review hormone functions thoroughly.
		2. Confusing abscisic acid with other hormones: Remember its role in stress management.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Use mnemonics to remember hormone functions.
		2. Create a chart of hormones and their functions for quick reference.
