Solution

The correct option is B Utricularia
Utricularia is also called as bladderwort because a part of the leaf is modified into a bladder like structure for catching small animals. It is a total root parasite because it is rootless and cannot prepare its own food.
Thus, the correct option is 'Utricularia'.
