A. Parthenocarpy can be induced by auxins – Correct.
Auxins can induce the development of seedless fruits (parthenocarpy).

B. Plant growth regulators can be involved in promotion as well as inhibition of growth – Correct.
For example, auxins and gibberellins promote growth, while abscisic acid inhibits it.

C. Dedifferentiation is a pre-requisite for re-differentiation – Correct.
Dedifferentiated cells regain the ability to divide and later redifferentiate into new tissues.

D. Abscisic acid is a plant growth promoter – Incorrect.
Abscisic acid is actually a growth inhibitor, not a promoter.

E. Apical dominance promotes the growth of lateral buds – Incorrect.
Apical dominance suppresses the growth of lateral buds, due to auxin produced by the apical bud.

Hence, option (2) is correct.
