AIIMS 2019 Botany Bacterial and Viral Shapes Match the Following Question

Option B is correct because it accurately matches the bacterial shapes with their respective terms: A (Coccus) refers to spherical bacteria, B (Bacillus) refers to rod-shaped bacteria, and C (Tobacco mosaic virus) is a viral pathogen that affects plants, specifically tobacco. Other options are incorrect as they either misclassify the shapes of bacteria or incorrectly associate the Tobacco mosaic virus with bacterial morphology, which is not applicable since it is a virus and not a bacterium. Understanding these classifications is essential in microbiology, as they help in identifying and studying different microorganisms based on their shapes and structures.
