Which of these will cause a fruit to ripen quickly?
A
Auxin gas
B
Ethylene gas
C
Abscisic gas
D
Gibberellin gas
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Presence of ethylene gas causes fruits to ripen. As fruit ripens, it produces increasing amounts of ethylene.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ethylene: ↑ A gas (C2H4) produced by plants, and known as the “ripening hormone, ” which stimulates fruit ripening.

Detailed explanation-3: -The key here is ethylene. Ethylene is a natural gas given off by fruit that helps in ripening. To speed things up even faster, we recommend adding in an apple or banana! These fruits give off more ethylene than other fruits and will really aid in moving the ripening process along!

Detailed explanation-4: -(Source: UC Davis). Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone that plays an important role in inducing the ripening process for many fruits, together with other hormones and signals. An unripe fruit generally has low levels of ethylene. As the fruit matures, ethylene is produced as a signal to induce fruit ripening.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most fruits produce a gaseous compound called ethylene that starts the ripening process.
