Solution
The correct option is A tobacco
A nematode affected the roots of the tobacco plant on the cost of great production and yield. Strategies adopted to prevent this infection that was based on the process of RNA interference. RNA interference is the phenomena of inhibiting the activity of a gene through production sense and antisense RNA. The method involves a specific and RNA silencing. The result was that the parasite could not survive in a transgenic host expressing specific interfering RNA. Transgenic plant thus gets protected from the parasite.So, the correct option is 'tobacco'
