In plants, during growth and development:
I: Turgidity of cells helps in extension growth.
II: Water provides the medium for enzymatic activities needed for growth.
III: Oxygen helps in releasing metabolic energy essential for growth activities.
IV: Nutrients (macro and micro essential elements) are required for the synthesis of protoplasm and act as source of energy.

1. Only I, II and III are correct
2. Only I, III and IV are correct
3. Only II, III and IV are correct
4.  I, II, III and IV are correct

During mid-1960s, three independent researches reported the purification and chemical characterisation of three different kinds of inhibitors: inhibitor-B, abscission II and dormin. Later all the three were proved to be chemically identical. It was named:

2. N6-furfurylamino purine
3. Abscisic acid
4. Gibberellic acid
