The correct answer is (2) bacteria.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is the causal agent of crown gall disease. It is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative soil bacterium.
A. tumefaciens includes the nitrogen-fixing legume symbionts. Unlike the nitrogen-fixing symbionts, tumor-producing Agrobacterium species are pathogenic and do not benefit the plant. The wide variety of plants affected by Agrobacterium makes it of great concern to the agriculture industry.
