List-I (Disease): (A) Sigatoka leaf spot (B) Club root (C) Black wart (D) Whip smut
List-II (Host): (I) Potato (II) Sugarcane (III) Banana (IV) Cauliflower
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (II), (B), (I), (C), (III), (D), (IV)
• B. (A), (I), (B), (III), (C), (IV), (D), (II)

• D. (A), (IV), (B), (II), (C), (III), (D), (I)

Hint:

Match each plant disease to the crop/host it typically affects.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Sigatoka leaf spot is a major fungal disease of Banana, Club root (caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae) affects Cauliflower and other crucifer crops, Black wart (caused by Synchytrium endobioticum) is a serious quarantine disease of Potato, and Whip smut is a well-known disease of Sugarcane that produces its characteristic whip-like black smut structure.
Putting these pairs together, Sigatoka goes with Banana, Club root with Cauliflower, Black wart with Potato, and Whip smut with Sugarcane, which is exactly what option 3 lists.
