Respuesta :

Removing the terminal bud of a plant that shows apical dominance will cause an immediate flowering of the plant so the option c is correct

Apical dominance is the process by which shoot tips inhibit the growth of axillary buds further down the trunk in order to control the number of growing shoot tips and branches. Shoot apical dominance occurs when the shoot tip inhibits the growth of lateral buds, allowing the plant to grow vertically. It is important that the plant expends energy growing upwards in order for the plant to obtain more light for photosynthesis. Auxin produced at the top (or upper) growth tip of the plant stem causes the stem to grow upward and also stops the growth of lateral buds (lateral buds). This is called leading edge dominance.
