Which plant hormone promote cell division
A
Auxin
B
Gibberellins
C
Cytokinins
D
Abscisic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinins are plant hormones which promotes cytokinesis or cell division. It also helps in opening of stomata, delaying ageing in leaves, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinin promotes nuclear localization of a transcription factor to activate cell division. Organ morphogenesis in plants is largely determined by the rate and patterns of cell division (1) occurring primarily in meristematic tissues such as the shoot and root meristems, and vascular cambium (2).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinins (CK) are a class of plant hormones that promote cell division, or cytokinesis, in plant roots and shoots. They are involved primarily in cell growth and differentiation, but also affect apical dominance, axillary bud growth, and leaf senescence.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinins promote cell division and increase cell expansion during the proliferation and expansion stages of leaf cell development, respectively. During leaf senescence, cytokinins reduce sugar accumulation, increase chlorophyll synthesis, and prolong the leaf photosynthetic period.
