Question #3
Which of the following hormones is responsible for the closure of stomata during water stress?
A. Auxin
B. Cytokinin
C. Gibberellin
D. Abscisic acid (ABA)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a stress hormone that induces stomatal closure by causing efflux of K⁺ ions from guard cells, leading to loss of turgor, thereby reducing water loss during drought. Auxin and cytokinin promote growth, gibberellin stimulates stem elongation and seed germination. ABA also promotes seed dormancy and leaf senescence.
