- A(a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)
- B(a)-(iii), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv)
- C(a)-(ii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)
- D(a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
- Saprophyte: Feeds on dead organic matter (Decomposition).Parasite: Lives on/in living hosts.Lichens: Mutualism between algae and fungi.Mycorrhiza: Mutualism between fungi and plant roots.Matching: a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i.
