C Correct answer
Explanation

Earcockle disease of wheat is caused by Anguina tritici (a nematode). Puccinia tritici causes stem rust of wheat, not earcockle. Corynebacterium tritici causes bacterial leaf streak. 'Angunia' appears to be a typo for 'Anguina' but given the options, C is clearly intended as the correct answer.
