The correct answer for this question is this one: "c. J.J. Thompson." J. J. Thomson is the <span>scientist who designed an experiment that enabled the first successful detection of an individual subatomic particle. </span>J.J. Thomson<span> (Sir Joseph John Thomson, 1856-1940), who demonstrated in 1897 that "cathode rays" consisted of negatively-charged particles, later named electrons.</span>
The lichens show mutualism and they are found in every biome of the Earth. The lichens have algae and fungus associated with them and they live in a mutualistic relationship with each other. Lichens can grow on soil where no other species can grow like rocks, barren soils and they enrich the soil on dying where other plants and trees can grow.
Lichens being pioneer species change the environment by building up the soil and liberating nutrients. Also the lichens contribute to the chemical weathering of the soil releasing phosphate along with erosion and weather conditions.
When the simple plants die, the wildflowers and other plants start growing replacing lichens or mosses.
From the above explanation it can be concluded that lichens alter the abiotic environment and favor other species of plants to grow by breaking down rocks from soil and providing nutrients.
