Which of the following is/are involved in explaining how auxin causes cell elongation?I. an increase in pH breaks hydrogen bonds between cellulose fibresII. auxin activates specific genesIII. a protein pump transports protons from the cell wall to the cytoplasm
A
I and II only
B
II only
C
I, II and II
D
II and III only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plant hormone auxin is well known to stimulate cell elongation via increasing wall extensibility. Auxin participates in the regulation of cell wall properties by inducing wall loosening.

Detailed explanation-2: -Auxin is a key regulator of plant growth and development, orchestrating cell division, elongation and differentiation, embryonic development, root and stem tropisms, apical dominance, and transition to flowering.

Detailed explanation-3: -Auxin promotes cell division and meristem maintenance and also plays an important role in the establishment of cellular patterning.

Detailed explanation-4: -Auxin: Auxin is the plant hormone responsible for the elongation of cells. The word auxin, which means β€œto grow, β€˜β€™ is frequently used in the fields of horticulture and agriculture.
