D Correct answer
Explanation

Wisteria is a beautiful purple flowering vine, but all parts of the plant (especially seeds and pods) contain toxic glycosides called wistarin and lectin that can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested. Lavender, lilac, and violet flowers are generally safe and some are even used in salads or teas.
