Gabriela Martinez · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : E, Explanation :  Ethylene is the plant hormone that promotes fruit ripening. It is produced by the fruit as it matures and acts as a signal for the fruit to ripen. Ethylene triggers a series of physiological and biochemical changes in the fruit, including the breakdown of chlorophyll, the conversion of starch to sugar, and the softening of the fruit.
