If B was placed in the middle of coleoptile, it will result in the growth of plant apex. The plant exhibit apical dominance if auxin is present. The multiplication of meristematic cells closer to the apex, results in the increase of plant height.
So, the correct answer is 'Grow straight up or symmetrical growth'.
