Solution

The correct option is B Ficus religiosa
Ficus religiosa or sacred fig is a species of fig native to Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, south-west China and Indochina.
It belongs to the Moraceae, the fig or mulberry family. It is also known as the 'bo-tree' or peepal, peepul, or pippal.
Pisum sativum (garden pea), Ficus benghalensis (Indian banyan) and Cajanus cajan (pigeon pea) are not the botanical names of peepal tree.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
