Answer: A
The Father of Plant Pathology is Heinrich Anton de Bary.

These studies founded plant pathology as an experimental science and also earned him the title father of mycology.
Robert Koch established the germ theory of animal disease and Koch's postulates. E. J. Butler is the father of Indian plant pathology and mycology. B. P. Pal was a wheat breeder and the first Director General of ICAR.
