    A)  VAM fungi     

    B)  Rhizobium

    C)  Azospirillum

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

In many grasses and some other crops, the fungal hyphae penetrate to the cortical cells, which swell to form vesicles or arbuscules. This is called Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM). It has significant role in phosphate nutrition in plants.
