Leaf fall can be prevented with the help of

1. abscisic acid
2. auxins
3. florigen
4. cytokinins

Correct answer: auxins

Solution

Auxins help prevent leaf abscission by inhibiting the formation of the separation layer at the base of the leaf. When auxin levels drop, leaf fall is promoted, so higher auxin levels delay it.
