Auxin is the plant growth hormone that promotes lengthening and coordinates with other growth hormones to regulate growth; it also causes apical dominance. Cytokinin is the plant growth hormone that promotes cell division in shoot apical meristem and differentiation in root apical meristem. It works antagonistically to auxin to balance the growth with development in shoot and root apex.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
