Introduction:
The plant hormones can be defined as certain chemicals that are responsible for triggering some responses within the body of the plant. These hormones cause the response to gravity, light or touch. These hormones also give quick responses to stimuli.

Answer to Problem 1TY
The correct option is (c).auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
The option is (c) auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin
The hormones auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins are called plant hormones. Auxin is responsible for growth, cytokinins are responsible for cell division and gibberellins are responsible for stimulating cell division.
Explanation of incorrect answer:
Option (a) cyclic AMP, IP3 and calcium ions.
The ions cyclic AMP, IP3, and calcium ions are called as secondary messengers and are found in animal and plant cells. These are responsible for the transmission of messages from a different type of receptors and hormones. Hence option (a) is incorrect.
Option (b) calcium, CPDKs, and DELLA proteins
The calcium, CPDKs, and DELLA are called proteins. The CPDK called as effector, influences cellular response like closing and opening of ion channels. The protein DELLA is responsible for restricting the cell division process when gibberellin hormones are present. These are not hormones. Hence, option (b) is incorrect.
Option (d) chlorophyll, carotenoids, and phytochrome
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in a plant that helps in photosynthesis. Carotenoids are responsible for yellow, orange and red. Phytochromes are photoreceptors in plants that detect light. As these are not hormones, the answer is incorrect.
Option ( e) statoliths, pulvini, and parenchyma
Statoliths are plastids present in root cells. Pulvini help in response quick touch. The parenchyma tissue transfers oxygen into shoots and roots. As this is not hormones, option (e) is incorrect.
The major type of plant hormones includes auxin, cytokinins, and gibberellins hormones. Auxin helps in growth and the behavior of the plant. On the other hand, cytokinins and gibberellins and responsible for the promotion of cell division and aging and stimulation of cell division, elongation respectively. Hence, the option (c) is correct.
