Solution
The correct option is AAnabaena
In addition to normal roots, Cyas develop specialized organs called coralloid roots. These roots help them form a mutualistic and symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria. In fact, these coralloid roots are produced in clusters at the base of the stem which because of its apogeotropic growth protrudes out over the ground. It is dichotomously branched and is in symbiosis with Anabaena allowing nitrogen fixation.
