Answer: Option B

In India, the leaf rust of coffee was first time recorded in 1870.
Coffee serves as the obligate host of coffee rust, that is, the rust must have access to and come into physical contact with coffee to survive.
Hemileia vastatrix is a multicellular basidiomycete fungus of the order Pucciniales (previously also known as Uredinales) that causes coffee leaf rust (CLR), a disease affecting the coffee plant.
Over the years that followed, the disease was recorded in India in 1870, Sumatra in 1876, Java in 1878, and the Philippines in 1889.
