Solution

The correct option is A Rhizobium
The Rhizobium bacteria are found living symbiotically in the root nodules of leguminous plant such as peas. These bacteria are capable of nitrogen fixation. Leguminous plants benefit from this association by getting nutrition, while the bacterium uses the food prepared by the plant marking a symbiotic relation between the two organisms.
