Solution

The correct option is D Trees like pine and oak.
An ectomycorrhiza is a form of symbiotic relationship that occurs between a fungal symbiont and the surface roots of various plant species. Ectomycorrhizal fungi do not penetrate their host’s cell walls. Instead, they form an entirely intercellular interface. This consists of highly branched hyphae forming a latticework between epidermal and cortical root cells. Ectomycorrhizae can be traced to the roots of trees like pine and oak.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
