Solution

The correct option is B Light blight of Potato
Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete or water mold, a microorganism that causes the serious potato and tomato disease known as late blight or potato blight. It can infect and destroy the leaves, stems, fruits, and tubers of potato and tomato plants. Potato tubers that are blight infected may contain higher levels of alkaloids than healthy tubers.

So, the correct answer is 'Light blight of Potato'.
