The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Nif Genes**: Nif genes are responsible for nitrogen fixation, which is the process of converting atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) into a form that plants can use, such as ammonium (NH₄⁺) or nitrates (NO₃⁻). 2. **Identifying the Plant Family**: The question asks where Nif genes are introduced. These genes are primarily associated with plants in the family Leguminosae (also known as Fabaceae), which includes legumes, pulses, peas, and grams. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Legumes**: This is a broad category that includes all members of the family Leguminosae. - **Pulses**: Pulses are a subset of legumes, which include beans, lentils, and peas. - **Peas and Grams**: Both are specific types of legumes. - **Nicotiana**: This is a genus that includes tobacco, which belongs to a different family (Solanaceae) and does not have Nif genes. 4. **Conclusion**: Since Nif genes are found in legumes and their subsets (pulses, peas, and grams), the most inclusive and correct answer is "legumes." Therefore, the Nif genes are introduced in legumes. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct option is **Legumes**. ---
