Correct Answer: Only II


Solution : The correct option is Only II

The rust on wheat is indeed caused by fungi. The term "rust" refers to a group of fungal diseases that affect various plants, including wheat. The most common rust affecting wheat is Puccinia graminis. Wheat rusts can lead to characteristic reddish-brown pustules on the leaves, reducing the plant's ability to photosynthesise and ultimately affecting yield.
