Solution
The correct option is C Ustilago
Ustilago causes the smut of crop plants.
A good example of it is whip smut of the sugarcane caused by Ustilago scitaminea. The disease is known as culmicolous, which describes the outgrowth of fungus of the stalk on the cane. It attacks several sugarcane species and has been reported to occur on a few other grass species as well, but not to a critical amount. The most recognizable characteristic of this disease is a black or gray growth that is referred to as a "smut whip".Thus, the correct answer is option C.
