Question

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Uredospores are motile.
Statement (II) : Viruses are motile.
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:

The only group of fungi-like pathogens that produce truly motile spores are the Oomycetes (such as *Pythium* and *Phytophthora*), which release biflagellated zoospores that swim through water.
True fungal spores (like uredospores, conidia, and ascospores) and plant viruses are completely non-motile.
