Solution
The correct option is A chlorosis
Necrosis is the death of body tissue. It occurs when there is some infection or the supply to the part of the plant has stopped. This can also occur from injury, radiation or chemicals.
Chlorosis is yellowing of leaf tissue due to lack of chlorophyll. Possible causes of chlorosis include poor drainage, damaged roots, and compacted roots.
Epinasty is increased growth on the upper surface of an organ or part, causing it to bend downward.
Lichens are made up of two or more closely interacting organisms, a fungus and one or more partners called photobionts.
