Hello Dear,

◆ Answer - (b) methionine

Pulse protein is de cient in methionine aminoacid.

● Explanation -

• Pulses are rich sources of proteins specifically amino acids leucine, lysine, aspartate and glutamate.
• Proteins constitute 1/4th of dry weight of pulses.
• But pulse protein lacks methionine, cysteine and tryptophan.

Hence, correct option is (b) methionine.
