Option D, Chlorophytes

These are taxons of green algae and consists of both chlorophyll A and B. Chlorophtyas usually live in fresh water. These are able to produce their own food and thus form a mutual relationship with lichens to provide food to lichen and in response to which lichen provide raw material to chlorophytes for food production.
