To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between lichens and environmental conditions.Lichens are symbiotic associations between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. They are known to be bioindicators of air quality.Lichens are sensitive to air pollution, especially sulfur dioxide and other pollutants.In areas with high levels of pollution, lichens are often absent or show reduced growth.Conversely, a location with luxuriant growth of lichens indicates that the air is clean and not polluted.Therefore, the presence of luxuriant lichens on trees suggests that the location is not polluted.This corresponds to Option 4: Location is not polluted.Thus, the correct option is Option 4.
