AM
B.
Endomycorrhizae
C.
Both A and B
Answer
D.
None of the above

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The arbuscules are the most characteristic structures, formed intracellularly and probably having an absorptive function.
The vesicles are terminal swellings of hyphae formed inter and intracellularly having a storage function.
Vesicles and Arbuscles are found in Endomycorrhizae and Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM).
AM is a type of mycorrhiza in which the symbiont fungus penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant forming arbuscles.
Endomycorhizae is the mutually symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots.
