(d)

Gibberellins are the plants hormone causing light inhibited stem growth, this shows that light lowers the level of endogenous gibberellins and stem growth, while in drak it reverses. Gibberellins also produce some other physiological effects on plants like elongation of internodes and the stem, induce seed germination, breaking dormancy, induce perthenocarpy and maleness in plants, etc.
