Solution

The correct option is B They grow very rapidly
Lichens are formed by the symbiotic association between algae and fungi.

They are indicators of air pollution and do not grow in polluted areas.

Reindeers eat substantial amounts of lichens in winter.

Lichens grow by extending their thallus outwards from either tips or edges. They grow very slowly.
