To solve the question of selecting the incorrect statement, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A: "Photosynthesis takes place in the leaf of a plant."** - Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, primarily occurring in the leaves where chlorophyll is present. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. 2. **Analyze Statement B: "Relations between fungi and roots of higher plants is parasitic in nature."** - The relationship between fungi and the roots of higher plants, such as mycorrhizae, is typically mutualistic, meaning both organisms benefit from the relationship. - **Conclusion:** This statement is incorrect because it describes a mutualistic relationship as parasitic. 3. **Analyze Statement C: "Rhizobium often lives in the roots of pea and bean plants."** - Rhizobium is a type of bacteria that forms a symbiotic relationship with legumes like peas and beans, helping them fix nitrogen from the atmosphere. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. 4. **Analyze Statement D: "Cascota is a parasitic plant that has no leaves and roots."** - Cascota (Cuscuta) is indeed a parasitic plant that attaches to host plants and lacks chlorophyll, thus does not have leaves or roots of its own. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion: After analyzing all the statements, we find that the incorrect statement is **B: "Relations between fungi and roots of higher plants is parasitic in nature."** This statement mischaracterizes the relationship as parasitic instead of mutualistic. ### Answer: **B** is the incorrect statement. ---
