    Question

    Given below are two statements: Statement I:

    Auxins are a group of plant bio-regulators which are primarily responsible for ripening of fruits. Statement II:  Fruits are basically of two types on the basis of ripening: climacteric and non-climacteric. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
    A Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Statement I is not entirely accurate. Auxins, a group of plant hormones, are not primarily responsible for fruit ripening. Ethylene is the primary hormone responsible for the ripening of fruits. Statement II, on the other hand, correctly categorizes fruits based on ripening into climacteric and non-climacteric types.
