Solution

The correct option is D Mycorrhiza
Mycorrhiza is a useful functional association between fungi and the roots of higher plants in which fungi absorb nutrients from the soil as their roots are not such strong and the tree provides food to the fungi. The best example is Orchid mycorrhiza
So the correct option is 'Mycorrhiza'
