Solution
The correct option is D Leguminous root nodules
Root nodules of leguminous plants harbor nitrogen fixing bacteria Rhizobium. The Rhizobium is micro aerobic bacteria and the nitrogen fixing enzyme is sensitive to oxygen. The bacteria contains hemoglobin like pigment, leg hemoglobin, which acts as an scavenger and binds with the free oxygen. Thus, the enzyme nitrogenase can carry on nitrogen fixation unhindered.
