Gibberellins can promote seed germination because of their influence on:

  1. A
    rate of cell division
  2. B
    production of hydrolyzing enzymes
  3. C
    synthesis of abscisic acid
  4. D
    absorption of water through hard seed coat.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Gibberellins () promote seed germination by inducing the synthesis of hydrolyzing enzymes like -amylase, proteases, and lipases in the endosperm. These enzymes break down stored nutrients to mobilize them for the developing embryo.
