Solution

The correct option is B Root nodules
Bacteroids are nitrogen-fixing anaerobic bacteria present in the root nodules. They help in reduction of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia. These bacteria live symbiotically in within the roots of leguminous plants and produce small outgrowths on the surface of legume roots called nodules.
So the correct answer is 'Root nodules'.
