Solution

The correct option is B Leguminosae
Crotalaria juncea, known as sunn or sunn hemp, is a tropical Asian plant of the legume family (Fabaceae / Leguminosae). 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 B is correct.
