Solution

The correct option is A leguminous
Pulses are categorised as leguminous plants. They have nodules present in their roots, where the nitrogen fixing bacteria resides. E.g., Rhizobium. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen into soil and makes it available for plants to use. In return, the plants provide food and shelter to the bacteria.
