Solution
The correct option is B Agrobacterium
A. tumefaciens (a pathogen of several dicot plants) has natural ability to transfer T-DNA of their Ti (tumour inducing) plasmids into plant genome upon infecting them. This causes an unorganised growth of a cell mass or tumor known as crown gall. A. tumefaciens, thus functions as a natural genetic engineer of plants.
