Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

The phenomenon of photoperiodism was first discovered by Garner and Allard (1920, 22) in tobacco plant. They observed that Maryl and Mammoth variety of tobacco could be made to flower only by reducing the light hours with artificial darkening. It could be made to remain vegetative in winter by providing extra light.
