Solution

The correct option is C Leaf and stripe rust
White rust
White rust is a fungal disease caused by Albugo candida that mainly affects plants like cauliflower belonging to the genus Brassica. This disease usually does not affect wheat varieties.

Mosaic viruses
Mosaic viruses are a group of viruses that cause the leaves of infected plants to have a mottled appearance. Himgiri is not resistant to mosaic viruses.

Bacterial blight
Bacterial blight is caused by Pseudomonas syringae. The main symptom of this disease is the development of brown necrotic leaf spots with yellow halos. The disease is caused by sowing infected seeds within a field.

Leaf and stripe rust
Leaf and stripe rust are fungal diseases of wheat where the infected tissue becomes brown and dry. Leaf rust is caused by the pathogen Puccinia triticina and stripe rust by Puccinia striiformis. These diseases result in reducing the yield of crops. The Himgiri variety of wheat, developed through hybridisation, is resistant to leaf and stripe rust fungal diseases.
