Solution

The correct option is B a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Cuscuta is a parasitic plant. It lacks chlorophyll and grows on other living plants (host) and derives nutrition from them. This results in weakening of the host plant.
Insectivorous plants have chlorophyll and can produce their own food. But they grow on nitrogen-deficient soil. So, to compensate for this nitrogen deficiency they feed on insects. E.g., Pitcher plant and venusflytrap.
Lichen is the symbiotic association between algae and fungi. Here the algal component prepares food for the fungi. In return fungi provides protection to the algae partner.
Saprotrophs do not contain chlorophyll and cannot produce their own food. Instead, they grow on dead and decaying matter and obtain nutrients from them. E.g., Mushroom, yeast, mold, etc.
