Solution
The correct option is D Sundew plant
The insectivorous habit develops in the plants due to the deficiency of nitrogen because these plants grow in nitrogen-deficient soil usually in swamps. Some of the common examples of insectivorous plants are Nepenthes (pitcher plants), Utricularia (bladderwort), Drosera (sundew), Dionaea (venus fly trap). Sundew plant is Drosera rotundifolla. Its leaf surface is always sticky due to the secretory activity of smaller glands on the end of tentacles, which release proteolytic enzymes.So, the correct answer is 'Sundew plant'.
