Solution

The correct option is A Papilionideae
Root nodules or swellings are found on the roots of plants in subfamily Papiliodnideae of family Fabaceae or Leguminosae (e.g., pea, gram). These nodules contain symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria which convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonia. This process is called as nitrogen fixation.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
