Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

In tissue culture, shoot regeneration is promoted by cytokinin, and root generation is promoted by auxin like NAA (Naphthalene Acetic Acid). An excess of auxin promotes root regeneration, whereas that of cytokinin promotes shoot regeneration. Roots regenerates from the lower end of these shoots to give complete plantlets
