Option D would provide the best data for determining how long a plant must be exposed to Agrobacterium to become infected. This experiment would involve exposing plants to Agrobacterium for different time intervals and then counting the number of tumors formed. By comparing the results from plants exposed to different lengths of time, the minimum exposure time needed for infection can be determined. Options A, B, and C may provide useful information but are not directly related to determining the time required for infection.
