Solution

The correct option is A Symbiotic association between fungus and roots of seed plants.
Mycorrhiza refers to the symbiotic association of a fungus and roots of vascular plants. During this association, the fungus colonizes on the roots of the host seed plants either intracellularly or extracellulary and is generally mutualistic rather than pathogenic.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
