Solution

The correct option is C Nitrogen deficient soil

Carnivorous plants like pitcher plants are having a trapping mechanism designed to catch and digest insects. They do this to obtain the nutrients not found in the soil. They derive nitrogen from the prey they trap and thus they can grow in nitrogen-deficient soil.

The correct option is C.
