Solution

The correct option is D Potato
Synchytrium endobioticum is a chytrid fungus that causes the potato wart disease, or black scab. The damage caused by the disease is frequently high since the potato tubers get de- shaped, become tasteless loosing flavour and therefore unfit for human consumption. Young tubers get deformed due to infection and have to be thrown away.

So, the correct answer is 'Potato'.
