Solution
The correct option is B Cicer arietinum
The chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. It is also known as gram or Bengal gram, garbanzo or garbanzo bean and sometimes known as Egyptian pea, ceci, cece or chana. Its seeds are high in protein. Chickpeas are a nutrient-dense food, providing rich content of protein, dietary fibre, folate, and certain dietary minerals such as iron and phosphorus. Thiamin, vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc contents are moderate. Chickpeas have a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score of about 76 percent, which is higher than fruits, vegetables, many other legumes, and cereals. So, major source of protein is Cicer arietinum compared to Oryza sativa (rice), Beta vulgaris (beet root) and Rhizobium (bacteria).
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
