In theory, auxin could increase the rate of proton extrusion by two possible mechanisms:
I) H+-ATPase activation
II) H+-ATPase synthesis
a) Auxin involves in the activation of ATP-driven proton-pump (H+-ATPase) indirectly
b) ABPs appear to be able to activate the plasma membrane H+-ATPase in the presence of auxin
c) Activity of the H+- ATPase is repressed by the C-terminal domain of the enzyme, which can block the catalytic site  in absence of auxin
d) The protein is synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and targeted via the secretory pathway to the plasma membrane
Find out the correct explanation of given mechanisms.

The Norway rat (Rattus Norvegicus), a widespread pest, was controlled for about a decade by the anticoagulant warfarin. This chemical substance, placed in food pellets, is absorbed by the intestinal tract and inhibits the clotting of blood. After a population decline for about 10 years, rat populations increased and stabilized. In one European population, as illustrated in the graph below, the percentage of rats resistant to warfarin has remained fairly stable over a number of years.

Resistance to warfarin is governed by a dominant autosomal gene, R. More than 15 percent of the resistant animals are heterozygous at this locus (Rr). The table below indicates the response to warfarin and relative reproductive fitness of individuals that are homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant gene (R). The RR individuals have a 20-fold increase in vitamin K requirement over individuals.

Fitness is a measure of the reproductive success of a particular genotype. The highest fitness is 1.00.

The strong dependence of RR individuals on large quantities of vitamin K probably is responsible for
