Solution

The correct option is A Maize

Crops like wheat consume lot of soil nutrients like nitrogen.

In order to replenish the soil nutrients, leguminous plants such as maize, groundnut are grown after wheat.

Leguminous plants have root nodules which host nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium.

Rhizobium can take up nitrogen directly from atmosphere and convert it into ammonia.
