Solution

The correct option is C Carbohydrates
  • The algal component carries out photosynthesis and produces carbohydrate glucose during the dark reaction of photosynthesis.
  • Minerals are provided to the algal part by fungal mycelium. It absorbs water and minerals from the substratum.
  • Lipids and proteins are neither supplied by algal part nor fungal part but synthesized within the organism itself.
  • So the correct answer is 'Carbohydrate'.
