Cytokinin: Any of a class of plant hormones involved in cell growth and division.
Auxin: A class of plant growth hormones that is responsible for elongation in phototropism and gravitropism and for other growth processes in the plant life cycle.
Gibberellin: Any of a class of diterpene plant growth hormones that stimulate shoot elongation, seed germination, and fruit and flower maturation.

Auxin's partner in crime is a class of hormones called Cytokinins. Cytokinins promote cell division (cytokinesis) and are produced in roots, embryos and fruits, or wherever there is actively growing tissue. However, cytokinins need auxin to induce cell division.

Kinins is also a plant hormone that induces cell division.

Auxin helps in cell enlargement while cytokinin helps in cell division. Therefore the answer is correct.

I think auxin is the right answer.

They act locally to induce Vesodilation and contraction of muscles. Kinin functions as mediator for inflammatory responses by triggering the immune system. In botany, the plant hormones called cytokinins were first called kinins.

I think Cytokinin is the right answer.

The plant hormone auxin controls cell elongation. Cytokinin promotes cell division, controlling many developmental processes in plants.
Gibberellins control many aspects of plant physiology including shoot elongation, seed germination, fruit and flower maturation, seed dormancy, gender expression, seedless fruit development, etc.

So which answer is 100% correct.

Then what do gibberellins do. ?
