b<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In British Columbia, Canada, maple trees have been observed with sooty bark disease, and researchers are working on ways to reduce the rate at which the disease spreads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Sooty Bark Disease (SBD):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is a <strong>fungal disease of maple trees, <\/strong>which causes <strong>rapid wilting and mortality.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The disease is caused by the <strong>fungus Cryptostroma corticale.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It can also have <strong>implications for human health if fungal spores are inhaled. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The fungus is<strong> endemic to the Great Lakes region of North America <\/strong>but is considered an <strong>introduced disease in Europe. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It is most often <strong>noticed after periods of hot weather <\/strong>when<strong> extensive black sooty patches <\/strong>are revealed <strong>beneath the bark of affected trees. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It is a disease which <strong>needs high temperatures for extended periods of time.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>fungus <\/strong>may<strong> remain dormant inside a tree<\/strong> for years before becoming <strong>active under hot, dry conditions,<\/strong> and it can<strong> kill a tree in as little as three years.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>main characteristic<\/strong> of sooty bark disease is the <strong>predominantly black discolouration caused by concentrated spore formation on the trunk. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>There is <strong>currently no control <\/strong>that exists for sooty bark disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Hence option b is the correct answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>News: <\/strong><a

b<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In British Columbia, Canada, maple trees have been observed with sooty bark disease, and researchers are working on ways to reduce the rate at which the disease spreads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Sooty Bark Disease (SBD):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is a <strong>fungal disease of maple trees, <\/strong>which causes <strong>rapid wilting and mortality.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The disease is caused by the <strong>fungus Cryptostroma corticale.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It can also have <strong>implications for human health if fungal spores are inhaled. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The fungus is<strong> endemic to the Great Lakes region of North America <\/strong>but is considered an <strong>introduced disease in Europe. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It is most often <strong>noticed after periods of hot weather <\/strong>when<strong> extensive black sooty patches <\/strong>are revealed <strong>beneath the bark of affected trees. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It is a disease which <strong>needs high temperatures for extended periods of time.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>fungus <\/strong>may<strong> remain dormant inside a tree<\/strong> for years before becoming <strong>active under hot, dry conditions,<\/strong> and it can<strong> kill a tree in as little as three years.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>main characteristic<\/strong> of sooty bark disease is the <strong>predominantly black discolouration caused by concentrated spore formation on the trunk. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>There is <strong>currently no control <\/strong>that exists for sooty bark disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Hence option b is the correct answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>News: <\/strong><a
