thomaster · Answer

Ectomycorrhizal fungi do not penetrate their host’s cell walls. 
Endomycorrhizal fungi do

They're both a symbiose between a fungi and a plant
Ectomycorrhizal fungi form a hyphal sheath around the plant roots, which helps the plant surviving in adverse conditions. So I'd pick B, but i'm not 100% sure
