Solution

The correct option is A Agrobacterium tumefaciens
A Ti or tumour inducing plasmid is a circular plasmid that is a part of the genetic equipment that Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacterium rhizogenes use to transduce its genetic material to plants. The Ti plasmid is lost when Agrobacterium is grown above 28oC. Such, cured bacteria do not induce crown galls, i.e., they become avirulent.
