Solution

The correct option is B Viscum
All plants are not autotrophs. The heterotrophic plants can be- parasites, insectivorous or saprophytes. The parasites may be complete or partial. Viscum and Loranthus are common examples of partial stem parasites, which grow as parasitic epiphytes on host plants but can carry out photosynthesis and manufacture their own food.
