Answer: 4. (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)

Key idea: Match nutrition modes with their meaning.

  • Saprophyte: decomposes dead organic material (ii).
  • Parasite: lives on living plants or animals (iii).
  • Lichen: association of algae and fungi (iv).
  • Mycorrhiza: association of fungi with plant roots (i).

So (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i).
