Given below are two statements. One is labeled Assertion(A) and the other is labeled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Members of the genus Glomus are capable of forming a mycorrhizal association.
Reason (R) ; Mycorrhiza is an association of fungi with roots of higher plants.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the option given below.

Fungi are also known to form symbiotic associations with plants (mycorrhiza). 

Many members of the genus Glomus form mycorrhiza. 

Glomus is a genus of fungi that forms a symbiotic association with roots of higher plants.

The fungal symbiont in these associations absorbs phosphorus from soil and passes it to the plant. 

Plants having such associations show other benefits also, such as resistance to root-borne pathogens, tolerance to salinity and drought, and an overall increase in plant growth and development.
