There are choices for this question namely:

glycogen

startch

omega-3 fatty acids

fructose

protein

The correct answer is "starch". Gibberellins are plant hormones that regulate various processes related to plant growth including stem elongation, flowering, germination, enzyme induction, etc. In this question, gibberillins induce the synthesis of alpha amylase. The action of alpha amylase is to degrade glycogen, starch, and other polyssacharides; in plants, the food source targeted by gibberillins by the action of alpha amylase is starch or amylose and amylopectin.
