Consider the following statements
$I.$ A soil inhabiting plant bacterium, Agrobacteriumtumefaciens, a pathogen of several dicot plants is able to transfer a piece of $DNA$ known as $T-DNA$
$II.$ The T-DNA causes tumours
$III.$ Tumour formation induced by $Ti-$ plasmid
Which of the statements given above are correct?
A
$I \;and \;II$
B
$I\; and \;III$
C
$II \;and\;III$
D
$I, II \;and \;III$
