• Statement (I) is True: During induction of somatic embryogenesis, a synthetic auxin—most commonly 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid ($2,4\text{-D}$)—is added to the induction medium to promote dedifferentiation of somatic cells and trigger embryogenic competency.
• Statement (II) is True: For somatic embryo maturation, development, and subsequent plantlet conversion, embryos are subcultured onto a development/germination medium either lacking auxins or supplemented with low auxin/cytokinin levels and abscisic acid (ABA) to allow polarized cotyledonary and root-shoot axis expansion.
• Statement (III) is True: Somatic embryogenesis recapitulates the zygotic developmental trajectory through recognizable morphological stages: globular, heart-shaped, torpedo, and cotyledonary stages in dicotyledons.
• Conclusion: Statements (I), (II), and (III) are all true (Option 3).

Correct option: (3) Statements (I), Statement (Il) and Statement ({Il) are true
