Explanation
The correct answer is 'I only.' Lichens are a mutualistic association between green algae and fungal species of ascomycetes. In this symbiosis, the algae provide photosynthetic products to the fungus, while the fungus provides protection and access to nutrients. The options II and III refer to different types of mycorrhizal associations, which involve fungi and plant roots, not algae.
