Solution
The correct option is A Beans Rhizobium is a genus of Gram-negative bacterium which is found in the soil. The bacterium fixes nitrogen symbiotically in the leguminous plants. The species of Rhizobium are specific for the plants. Rhizobium phaseoli helps to fix the atmospheric nitrogen in the beans. The bacterium forms root nodules in the leguminous plants and fixes nitrogen for the plants with the help of the enzyme nitrogenase.
