Solution

The correct option is B
Dieback

Dieback is a condition in which plants or trees begin to die from the tip of its leaves, stems, shoots or roots backwards, due to a disease or any unfavourable environmental changes. It's name is derived from the fact that the plant literally starts dying backwards starting from the tips towards the centre. It occurs due to deficiency of a micro-nutrient known as copper in plants.
