Solution

The correct option is B Soyabean
Leghaemoglobin is a hemoprotein found in the root nodules of leguminous plants. In plants colonized by Rhizobium, such as alfalfa or soybeans, the presence of oxygen in the root nodules would reduce the activity of the oxygen-sensitive nitrogenase, an enzyme responsible for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen.
So, the correct answer is 'soya bean'
