Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In japan (in early 1800's), certain rice plants suffered from bakanae (foolish seedling) disease. Such rice plants were thin, pale green, spindle shaped, longer by `50%` than the healthy plants, and were sterile. The disease was found by Hori and Kurosawa to be caused by a fungus, Gibberellas fujikori. The fungus is the perfect stage of Fusarium moniliforme.
