Solution

The correct option is B Monotropa
Monotropa or Indian pipe commonly grows on humus rich soil. Unlike most plants, they do not contain chlorophyll; they are myco-heterotrophs. Its roots have a mycorrhizal association. It gets its food through parasitism upon fungi and not from photosynthesis.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
