  4. D{Rhizobium−Alfalfa\begin{cases}Rhizobium & - & \text{A}\text{l}\text{f}\text{a}\text{l}\text{f}\text{a}\end{cases}

Correct answer

B. {Rhodospirillum−Mycorrhiza\begin{cases}Rhodospirillum & - & \text{M}\text{y}\text{c}\text{o}\text{r}\text{r}\text{h}\text{i}\text{z}\text{a}\end{cases}

Step-by-step solution

Amongst the given options Rhodospirillum- mycorrhiza is mismatched. Rhodospirillum is anaerobic, free-living nitrogen fixer. Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and roots of higher plants. Anabaena is a cyanobacteria which can fix atmospheric nitrogen. Rhizobium is a symbiotic bacterium with leguminous plants which helps Nitrogen fixation. Frankia is also another cyanobacteria which is associated with Alnus and helps in nitrogen fixation.
