Solution

The correct option is D

A - Cuscuta, B - Loranthus, C - Monotropa


Total parasites depend on the host entirely for food and water. An example of this type of parasitic plant is Cuscuta which depends on the host for food and water. Partial depend on the host for either water or nutritional requirements but not both together. Example of this type of parasite is Loranthus which depends on the host only for water. Saprophytes are plants which depend on dead and decaying plants for nutrition. Example of this would be Monotropa.
