Cauliflower is the vegetable most likely to be produced from wild mustard, Brassica oleracea, given continued selection for larger flower clusters. This is because cauliflower is a cultivar of the same species as wild mustard and is selected for larger, denser flower clusters. The other options listed are also cultivars of Brassica oleracea, but are selected for different traits such as leaf characteristics (kale), tight leaf axils (Brussels sprouts), or large stems (cabbage). Broccoli is also selected for dense flower clusters, but it is a cultivar of a different subspecies of B. oleracea.
