C
auxin and cytokins
D
auxins and ethylene
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These results suggest that auxin and cytokinin exert opposite effects on amyloplast development by regulating the expression of the genes required for starch biosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinins act in concert with auxin, another plant growth hormone. The two are complementary, having generally opposite effects.

Detailed explanation-3: -ANSWER: The abscisic acid is the hormone which acts opposite to auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins.

Detailed explanation-4: -At a cellular level, abscisic acid inhibits both cell division and cell expansion. It often opposes the growth-inducing effects of auxin and gibberellic acid.

Detailed explanation-5: -The plant hormone that retards senescence in plants and delays ageing is known as cytokinin or kinetin.
