Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Rhizobium species infect legume roots, leading to root nodule formation, where they fix atmospheric N₂ into ammonia using nitrogenase enzyme. They are symbiotic, receiving carbohydrates from the plant. Azotobacter and Clostridium are free-living nitrogen fixers. Nitrosomonas is a nitrifying bacterium. Legume-Rhizobium symbiosis is crucial in sustainable agriculture, reducing the need for nitrogen fertilizers.
