Solution

The correct option is D Utricularia
Utricularia commonly called bladderworts are insectivorous parasitic plants. They are called insectivorous plants because they feed on insects for obtaining nitrogen content mainly. They are aquatic and grow in fresh water. Bladderworts are highly specialized plants and their vegetative organs are not clearly separated into roots, leaves and stem-like in other angiosperms.
So, the correct answer is 'Utricularia'.
