The correct option is (b) Cytokinins.

Explanation:

Skoog (1954-1956) observed that coconut milk contained a substance which stimulated cell division. The substance was later on called cytoklnin. 

The most widely occurring cytokinin in plants is isopentanyladenine (IPA). IPA has been isolated from Pseudomonas tumefaciens.
