A
Abscicic acid
B
Gibberellins
C
Cytokinins
D
Ethylene
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is “cytokinin".

Detailed explanation-2: -Benzyl-aminopurine and Kinetin are the most frequently used cytokinin in plant tissue cultures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Morphogenesis allows the organism to grow and take its shape by the process of cell division and differentiation. Cytokinins are the group of plant hormones which promotes cell division and differentiation in root and stem of the plant. It is involved in inducing morphogenesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -It has been recognized that cytokinins are plant hormones that influence not only numerous aspects of plant growth, development and physiology, including cell division, chloroplast differentiation and delay of senescence but the interaction with other organisms, including pathogens.
