Solution

The correct option is A Gibberella fujikuroi
Gibberella fujikuroi is the fungal species which causes the bakane disease in the rice seedling. The pathogenic infection releases of the hormone gibberellin in the form of gibberellic acid which increases the height of the plant by abnormal elongation of the internodes.
