Solution

The correct options are
A

Rajma


C

Peas


Rajma and peas are pulses. They have root nodules which house a nitrogen-fixing bacteria called Rhizobium that helps replenish the soil with nitrogen. Thus, these crops should be preferably grown in alternate harvest cycles to replenish the nitrogen content of soil.
