Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Phytoplasmas are found in Phloem
Statement (II): Phytoplasmas are transmitted by beetles
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
• C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
• D. Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.

Hint:

Phytoplasmas are wall-less, phloem-limited prokaryotes. Because they reside only in the phloem sap, they are transmitted by sap-sucking leafhoppers, not chewing beetles.
