Solution
The correct option is A Crotalaria juncea
Crotalaria juncea, known as sunn or sunn hemp, is a tropical Asian plant of the legume family (Fabaceae). It is generally considered to have originated in India. It is now widely grown throughout the tropics and subtropics as a source of green manure, fodder and lignified fiber obtained from its stem. Sunn hemp is also being looked at as a possible bio-fuel. Thus, option A is correct. Cicer arietinum (chickpea), Triticum vulgare (wheat) and lmpatiens balsamina (garden balsm) are not fibre yielding plants. Thus, other options are wrong.
