Solution

The correct option is D Leguninosae
Many members of the Leguminosae form an association with microorganisms that have the ability to fix nitrogen. These plants are nitrogen-fixers. The high level of nitrogen associated with plant parts of Leguminosae is one key to their economic importance. The bacteria grow in the nodule of plants roots. It fixes the atmospheric nitrogen. These bacteria are in symbiotic association with the Leguminosae plant.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
