The figure below above shows an experiment to study the effect of auxin towards the growth of the coleoptiles. Which of the following conclusions are true about the experiment?

I Auxin is produced at the tip of the

coleoptiles and diffuses to the bottom to stimulate

growth.

II The supply of auxin is cut off in the

dark.

III Auxin cannot penetrate a mica plate.

IV Auxin can diffuse through a block of

agar-agar.

• I, II and III only.

• I, III and IV only.

• II, III and IV only.
