Solution
The correct option is C Parmelia
Foliose lichens are flattened and leaf-like, with distinct upper and lower surfaces. The upper surface bears the photosynthetic layer and, often, the reproductive structures. The lower surface may have rhizines or other structures that attach to the substrate. Parmelia is a genus of medium to large foliose lichens. The ends of the leaf-like lobes are often squarish-tipped.Thus, the correct answer is option C.
