Solution

The correct option is A Cycas
Cycas has unbranched, apogeotropic, coral-like roots called as coralloid roots, which harbour nitrogen fixing blue green algae, like Nostoc and Anabaena. These may be free-living or form symbiotic relationships with plants. They perform nitrogen fixation in heterocyst and photosynthesis in vegetative cell.
So, the correct answer is option A.
