Solution

The correct option is D Potato
Synchytrium endobioticum is a fungus causing the wart disease in potato. The fungus affects a major portion of the underground parts namely the roots. But the stem and leaves remain unaffected; a little near the stem part gets affected. Abnormal growth happens that begins from the bud on stems, stolen and tubers leading to the development of warts.
