Solution

The correct option is A Glomus
Frankia, Anabaena, and Rhizobium are nitrogen-fixing bacteria that absorb nitrogen from the soil. Glomus is a mycorrhizal fungus. The fungal symbiont in these associations absorbs phosphorus from soil and passes it to the plant.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
