Which of the following prevents fall of fruits?

1. GA₃
2. NAA
3. Ethylene
4. Zeatin

Correct answer: NAA

NAA is a synthetic auxin that helps prevent abscission, so it reduces premature fruit drop. Ethylene generally promotes ripening and abscission, while GA₃ and zeatin are not the standard choice for preventing fruit fall.
