Solution

The correct option is A Euphorbia
Jatropha is a member of the euphorbia family. One of its great selling points as a biofuel is the fact that growing it need not compete with the cultivation of food. The selling point as a bioenergy crop is that it grows in marginal, eroded land, and is resistant to drought.
