Best answer

The correct option is: (a) Cycas

Explanation:

Roots in Cycas are of two types - normal and coralloid roots. Coralloid roots are irregular, negatively geotropic, dichotomously branched coral like roots which do not possess root hair and root caps. Coralloid roots have a symbiotic association with blue-green algae like Nostoc and Anabaena species.
