Solution

The correct option is B Mycorrhizae
In a symbiotic relationship, both the host and the parasite benefit from each other. In mycorrhizae, fungi reside inside the living root tissue of the plant. This fungus helps the plant absorb nutrients and also helps protect the plant from animals. In return, the host plant provides nutrients to the mycorrhizae fungus.
