Solution
The correct option is A Mutualism
A mutual relation seen between fungi and roots of higher plants is called as mycorrhiza. The fungi invade the host either extracellularly or intracellularly.

Sometimes in absence of such a symbiotic relation, the roots of plants may be uprooted. Hence correct answer is option A.
