Answer: Option D. -> Symbiotic association between a fungus and roots of higher plants
A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between a green plant and a fungus. The plant makes organic molecules such as sugars by photosynthesis and supplies them to the fungus, and the fungus supplies to the plant water and mineral nutrients, such as phosphorus, taken from the soil.

Answer: Option B. -> No environmental resistance
Exponential growth occurs when there is no environmental resistance.
Exponential growth occurs when there is no environmental resistance.
Answer: Option B. -> Deforestation
Deforestation, clearance, clearcutting or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees from land which is then converted to a non-forest use. Deforestation can involve conversion of forest land to farms, ranches, or urban use. The most concentrated deforestation occurs in tropical rainforests.
