Solution

The correct option is B Rhizobium
Microorganisms which, when applied to seed, plant surfaces, or soil, colonizes the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. Rhizobium can be used as biofertilizer. Rhizobium are found in the soil and after infection, produce nodules in the legume where they fix nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere turning it into a more readily usable form of nitrogen.

So, the correct option is 'Rhizobium'.
