Solution

The correct option is A Papilionaceae
The Fabaceae or Leguminosae or Papilionaceae is commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family and are a large and economically important family of flowering plants. It includes trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants perennials or annuals, which are easily recognized by their fruit (legume) and their compound, stipulated leaves. Grain legumes are cultivated for their seeds and are also called as pulses. The seeds are used for human and animal consumption or for the production of oils for industrial uses. Grain legumes include both herbaceous plants like beans, lentils, lupins, peas and peanuts and trees such as carob, mesquite and tamarind.
So, plants which yield pulses belong to family Papilionaceae and not to Rosaceae, Malvaceae and Compositae.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
