The correct option is A

The mode of transmission for the plant disease citrus canker is air. The bacteria affecting the citrus plants ooze out of the lesions and are carried away by the wind to settle on new host plants. These bacteria enter the plant body through lesions or stomatal openings and infects the plants.
