Solution

The correct option is B White flies
  • Beauveria bassiana is a fungus that grows naturally in soils throughout the world and acts as a parasite on various arthropod species, causing white muscardine disease; it thus belongs to the entomopathogenic fungi.
  • It is being used as a biological insecticide to control a number of pests such as termites, thrips, whiteflies, aphids and different beetles.
So, the correct option is 'White flies'.
