Solution

The correct option is B

Glomus


Glomus is an endomycorrhiza that helps in absorption of nutrition especially phosphorus from the soil.
Anabaena is known for nitrogen-fixing abilities, and they form symbiotic relationships with certain plants, such as the mosquito fern.
Rhizobia are bacteria that fix nitrogen (diazotrophs) after becoming established inside root nodules of legumes (Fabaceae).
Frankia is a genus of nitrogen-fixing, filamentous bacteria that live in symbiosis with actinorhizal plants, similar to the Rhizobium bacteria found in the root nodules of legumes in the Fabaceae family.
