Solution

The correct option is D Nodulated roots
Rhizobium is rod-shaped nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live symbiotically within the roots of several leguminous plants such as sweet pea. These bacteria produce small outgrowths (spherical) on the surface of legume roots called nodules and form nodulated roots
So the correct answer is 'Nodulated roots'.
