Fruits ripen after being picked by spraying or injecting the fruits with hormones.

Ripening is only hastened in climacteric fruits (ie.apples, pears, tomatoes). The fruits continue to ripen mostly due to hormone named ethylene gas.

ANSWER: D) by spraying or injecting the fruits with hormones.

Hope this helps! :)
