The correct option is B Ti-plasmid
Crown gall disease is a plant disease that is caused by the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Ti plasmid is essential to cause disease. It transfers bacterial DNA into the host cell where it incorporates itself into the host genome. It results in the overgrowth appearing as knobbly swellings or galls on stems, roots, trunks, and branches. It affects mostly woody shrubs and herbaceous plants like grapes, raspberries, blackberries, and roses.Thus, the correct answer is 'Ti-plasmid.'
