Agrobacterium Is a Type of Bacteria That Infects Plants and Causes

Agrobacterium is a type of bacteria that infects plants and causes them to form tumors.You determine that tumor formation requires a huge amount of the plant's energy for tissue formation.How might this change the number of offspring a plant produces,and what is the most likely explanation for this change?

A) The number of offspring should increase because,in general,illness increases the reproductive output of organisms.
B) The number of offspring should increase because the bacteria will provide lots of energy for the plant.
C) The number of offspring should decrease because the plant will be spending lots of energy producing the tumors.
D) There should be no effect of infection on offspring production because reproductive success is probably independent of infection.
