Solution
The correct option is A Rhizobium
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria like the Rhizobium are present in the root nodules of leguminous plants. They convert the atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms. These bacteria are in a symbiotic relationship with the plant. The bacteria enrich the soil by forming nitrogenic compounds for the plants to use and in turn, the plant provides food and shelter to the bacteria.
