A mycorrhiza is defined as a symbiotic relationship between the roots of plants (such as algae) and fungi in which both partners benefit.

It has to be A or B Thomaster because i know for a fact its not C

thomaster (thomaster):

From the stuff i read in my biology book they're both right...

thomaster (thomaster):

alright thank you

thomaster (thomaster):

Hmm mycorrhiza is generally mutualistic, but occasionally weakly pathogenic. Think thats why it's B. I searched the internet and all answers to the exact same question are C.
