Solution

The correct option is A Alga-Fungus
Lichen has a stable symbiotic association between a fungus and an algae and/or cyanobacteria. Lichens require carbon as a food source, it is provided by their symbiotic photosynthetic algae. These algae are called photobionts that can produce simple sugars by photosynthesis.
