Auxin is used by gardeners to prepare weed-free lawns. But no damage is caused to grass as auxin

  1. promotes apical dominance.
  2. promotes abscission of mature leaves only.
  3. does not affect mature monocotyledonous plants.
  4. can help in cell division in grasses, to produce growth.

Answer

(3) does not affect mature monocotyledonous plants.

Solution

The synthetic auxin 2,4-D is widely used to kill dicotyledonous weeds.

It does not affect mature monocotyledonous plants, so grasses (monocots) of the lawn are not damaged.

Answer: (3)
