Solution

The correct option is A Elettaria cardamomum
Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is a spice consisting of the seeds of several plants in the genera Elettaria in the family Zingiberaceae. Both genera are native to India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bhutan; they are recognized by their small seed pods, triangular in cross-section and spindle-shaped, with a thin, papery outer shell and small black seeds. Thus, option A is correct.
