Answer
The correct option is When aiming to increase the size of harvested fruits.. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to describe (HT only) the use of gibberellins to end seed dormancy in the subtopic Use of plant hormones (HT only).
Explanation
The correct option is When aiming to increase the size of harvested fruits.. When aiming to increase the size of harvested fruits. is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to describe (HT only) the use of gibberellins to end seed dormancy. This belongs to the subtopic Use of plant hormones (HT only) within Plant hormones (biology only), so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from Use of plant hormones (HT only).

Misunderstanding Gibberellins
Students often confuse gibberellins with other plant hormones and fail to specify their role in ending seed dormancy.
