Solution

The correct option is A Endophyte
Endophyte is the plants living symbiotically inside other plants. Saprophytes grow on the dead and decaying matter. Parasites adapt heterotrophic nutrition and withdraw the nutrition from the hosts. Semiparasite prepares food by themselves but during unfavourable condition, they depend on the host and withdraws the food. Mistletoe is a hemiparasite.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
