The correct option is: (b) growth regulators synthesised by plants and influencing physiological process
Explanation:
Growth regulators are organic substances, other than nutrients, which in low concentration regulate growth, differentiation and development by promoting or inhibiting the same. Phytohormones are growth regulators produced naturally in plants and translocated to another region for regulating one or more physiological reactions when present in low concentration. Phytohormone can have a promoting or inhibiting effect on a process.
