Solution

The correct option is A Himagiri
Himagiri, a wheat cultivar, has been bred for resistance to diseases like leaf and stripe rust, a fungal disease, that causes a rust like layer to appear on the parts affected and the hill bunt disease which is another fungal disease that eats up the entire wheat kernel and fills it with fish odour spores.
