Solution

The correct option is A

Rhizobium


Rhizobium is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria, usually found in the root nodules of leguminous plants. This bacteria and the leguminous plant are in a symbiotic relationship with each other. The nitrogen fixed by the bacteria is utilised by the plant and in turn, Rhizobium receives nourishment from the plant.

Aspergillus is a fungus whose spores are present in the air we breathe but does not normally cause illness.

Chlamydomonas is a genus of green algae found in stagnant water and on damp soil, in freshwater, seawater and it is used as a model organism for molecular biology, especially studies of flagellar motility.

Spirogyra is very common in relatively clean and developing as slimy filamentous green masses. Spirogyra species is valued for human consumption and is known as an important source of natural bioactive compounds for antibiotic, antiviral, antioxidant.
