Vedclass · Answer

(D) Lichens are symbiotic associations between algae (phycobiont) and fungi (mycobiont). They are very slow-growing organisms,often taking many years to cover a small surface area. They are known to be pollution indicators,especially for $SO_2$ (sulfur dioxide),as they do not grow in polluted areas. They serve as a primary food source for reindeer in the Arctic tundra. Therefore,the statement that they grow rapidly at a rate of $2 \ cm$ per year is false.
