Answer: Option A
Solution:
Most serious pest of wheat is Termite.Termites damage the crop soon after sowing and sometimes near maturity. They feed on roots, the stem of growing plants, and even dead tissues of plant feeding on cellulose.
The damaged plants dry up completely and are easily pulled out. The plants damaged at later stages give rise to white ears.
