- algae and bacteria
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Lichen is actually a form of symbiotic relationship between an alga and a fungus. The photosynthetic partner is generally the green algae or cynobacteria. The mycobiont (a fungus partner) produces a thallus which houses the phycobiont (an alga).

Biological Classification
The process of grouping living organisms into categories is called biological classification. The most modern 5-kingdom classification was put ahead by an eminent scientist R.H.Whittaker. The five-kingdom classification is based on the criteria like cell structure, mode of nutrition, body form, and reproduction. One of the most important characteristics of this system is that it follows the evolutionary sequence of living organisms. The organisms are classified into distinct taxa or levels like Kingdom, Phylum, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The 5 kingdoms are as follows:
