Answer:

Ethylene. (Ans. D)

Explanation:

Ethylene controls the aging and ripening processes in plants. While many fruits and vegetables generate small amounts of ethylene, climacteric fruits like bananas produce larger quantities. This ethylene release accelerates respiration, triggers more ethylene production, and causes changes in color and flavor.

Therefore, when transporting green bananas over long distances to stores, the ethylene gas should be removed from their surrounding environment.
