Solution
The correct option is C Phytophthora
The first bioherbicide developed in 1961 was a mycoherbicide derived from a fungus, Phytophthora palmivora, which controls the growth of milk weed vines in citrus orchids.Phytophthora is a genus of plant-damaging oomycetes, whose member species are capable of causing enormous economic losses on crops worldwide, as well as environmental damage in natural ecosystems. This has been well channelized to design bio-herbicides.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
