First, we restate the question and options to set the stage for evaluation.
Question: What is the scientific name for Chickpea?
Answer options:
- Cicer arietinum
- Oryza sativa
- Hordeum vulgarum
- Triticum spp.

Now, analyze each option one by one.
Option 1: Cicer arietinum
This is the correct scientific name for the chickpea. In botanical nomenclature, the genus Cicer includes chickpeas, and the species epithet arietinum uniquely identifies the common chickpea (Cicer arietinum). The two-part Latin binomial precisely matches established taxonomic classification for this legume.
Option 2: Oryza sativa
Oryza sativa is the scientific name for cultivated rice, not chickpeas. This genus Oryza comprises rice species, and sativa indicates cultivated varieties. Misidentifying chickpeas as rice confuses two completely different cereal crops.
Option 3: Hordeum vulgarum
This option appears to reference barley. The correct scientific name for barley is Hordeum vulgare (or sometimes Hordeum vulgare L.). The form "vulgarum" is not the standard epithet used for barley in taxonomy, and even if one considers a misspelling, it would still not point to chickpea.
Option 4: Triticum spp.
Triticum is the genus for wheat, with species such as Triticum aestivum. The abbreviation "spp." denotes multiple species within the genus. This option does not correspond to chickpea, which is in the genus Cicer, not Triticum.

In summary, only Option 1 correctly identifies the scientific name for chickpea as Cicer arietinum. The remaining options correspond to rice (Option 2), barley (Option 3, with minor orthographic caveat), and wheat (Option 4), which are unrelated to chickpeas.
