Solution

The correct option is D. Rhizobium.

Rhizobium attaches to the roots of the leguminous plants resulting in the generation of root nodules. It forms a symbiotic association with the leguminous plants as it draws the nutrition from the plants and in turn helps with the fixation of nitrogen in the soil for the leguminous plants to take up.
