Responsible for cell elongation, thickening of stem and roots and fruit development
A
Auxins
B
Gibberelins
C
Cytokinins
D
Ethylene
E
Abscisic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plant hormone auxin is well known to stimulate cell elongation via increasing wall extensibility.

Detailed explanation-2: -Auxin causes the elongation of stem and coleoptile cells by promoting wall loosening via cleavage of these bonds. This process may be coupled with the intercalation of new cell wall polymers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Auxin is an important phytohormone for fleshy fruit development, having been shown to be involved in the initial signal for fertilisation, fruit size through the control of cell division and cell expansion, and ripening related events.

Detailed explanation-4: -Auxins function primarily in stem elongation by promoting cell growth. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the major naturally occurring auxin and one of the major growth factors in plants. They were the first group of plant growth hormones discovered.

Detailed explanation-5: -Auxin is the plant hormone responsible for the elongation of cells. The word auxin, which means “to grow, ” is frequently used in the fields of horticulture and agriculture. They are typically produced in the roots and stems of plants.
