Answer:

Option C, Smut

Step-by-step explanation:

Corn smut is a condition in which mushroom-like tumors or galls appear on different part of the plant. This is caused by fungus Ustilago zeae. Corn smut is edible and appears grayish white with spony texture in the early stages of the infection promptly found on corn ear or tassel.

Hence, option C is correct
