Solution

The correct option is D Nicotiana
Nif-genes are the genes encoding enzymes involved in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen available to the leguminous plants. The nif-genes are found in both free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria and in symbiotic bacteria associated bacteria. These genes are introduced from legume plants into cultivated plants.
So, the correct option is 'Nicotiana'
