Solution:
- To match the items in Column-I with those in Column-II correctly, let’s understand the definitions:
- Saprophyte: An organism that feeds on dead or decaying organic matter.

- Lichens: A symbiotic association between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium.
- Mycorrhiza: A symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a plant.
Now, let’s match them:
- [a] Saprophyte matches with (ii) Decomposition of dead organic materials.
- [b] Parasite matches with (iii) Living on living plants or animals.
- [c] Lichens matches with (iv) Symbiotic association of algae and fungi.
