Solution

The correct option is B Root
Rhizobium is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria found in the root nodules of pulses like peas, green gram, etc. The bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen and provide it to the plants to absorb. In return, the plants provide shelter and nutrition to the bacteria. This kind of mutually beneficial relationship is called a symbiotic relationship.
