B Correct answer
Explanation

Kinetin (N6-furfuryladenine) is a type of cytokinin, a class of plant hormone that promotes cell division. Zeatin is a plant hormone derived from the purine adenine. It is a member of the plant growth hormone family known as cytokinins. Benzyl adenine or 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) is a first-generation synthetic cytokinin that elicits plant growth and development responses, setting blossoms and stimulating fruit richness by stimulating cell division.
