Which of the following is NOT a plant hormone?
A. Cytokinin
B. Gibberellin
C. Auxin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Thyroxine is an animal hormone secreted by the thyroid gland, regulating metabolism. Auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, and ethylene are plant hormones (phytohormones). Plant hormones control growth, development, and responses to environment. Thyroxine contains iodine and affects basal metabolic rate. Thus, thyroxine is unrelated to plant physiology.
