Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is a process found in plants that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their tissues. Microorganisms that can fix nitrogen include various prokaryotes, cyanobacteria, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Azotobacteraceae, Rhizobium, and Frankia. While legumes live in symbiosis with rhizobia to fix nitrogen, non-legumes use frankia in their symbiotic relationships. Hence, the correct option is 2.
