Question:

Which among the following crops helps in restoring soil fertility by fixing nitrogen from the air?

Options:

Millets

Pulses

Sugarcane

Rajma

Correct Answer:

Pulses

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Pulses **

Pulses have root nodules containing Rhizobium bacteria, which fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil, thereby restoring soil fertility.
Millets and sugarcane do not fix nitrogen. (Rajma is a type of pulse, but the correct general category is pulses.)
