Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Metarrhizium anisopiliae is targeted against sugarcane pyrilla and rhinoceros beetle and is commercially available under the trade name Biomax.
It is a fungus that grows naturally in soils throughout the world and causes disease in various insects by acting as a parasitoid.
The fungus then develops inside the body, eventually killing the insect after a few days, this lethal effect is very likely aided by the production of insecticidal cyclic peptides.
