A Correct answer
Explanation

Gibberellic acid (GA) is a plant hormone that stimulates the production of alpha-amylase enzyme in the aleurone layer of barley seeds during germination. This enzyme breaks down starch into sugars, providing energy for the growing embryo. Pectinase, cellulase, and protease are not induced by GA in this context.
