Answer 1

The correct option is B One

$\to$ Loranthus is a partial stem parasite as it depends on host plant for the shelter and water.

$\to$ Arceuthobium, a total stem parasite, is the smallest parasitic angiosperm.

It is commonly called dwarf mistletoes, Belongs to the family of pinacess

$\to$ Woody perennial climbers found in tropical rain forests are lianas. they twine themselves around tall trees to secure sunlight e.g. Hiptage, Bautinia etc.

$\to$ Sea anemones and Hermit crabs shows "commensalism not amensalism". It's a stable connection that side steps the typical prey and predator relationship found in nature.

$\therefore 1$ statement i.e. , (4) is false.
