Answer:

c) symbiotic

Step-by-step explanation:

-There is a symbiotic relationship between the legumes which contains root nodules and Rhizobium bacteria.

-Rhizobia live in the soil.

-When there is limited soil nitrogen, legumes in symbiotic relationship release flavanoids which sends signal to rhizobia that the plant needs symbiotic bacteria.

-Rhizobia produces ammonia from the atmospheric nitrogen and assists the plant's growth.
