Solution

The correct option is C Humus plants
A. Mycorrhizae are symbiotic relationships that form between fungi and plants. The fungi colonize the root system of a host plant, providing increased water and nutrient absorption while the plant provides the fungus with carbohydrates formed from photosynthesis.
B. Mesophytic plants are plants which are adapted to neither dry nor wet environmental conditions. example clover etc.
C. Humus is the topmost layer of soil formed after decaying of dead organisms. Saprophytes obtain energy from dead and decaying matter in the soil, thus energy is obtained from the humus layer. So, saprophytes are also called as humus plants
D. Plants having interspecies relation with ants are called myrmecophilous plants.
So, the correct answer is C.
