Solution

The correct option is C Nitrogen
The insectivorous plants are the carnivorous plants which feed on insects. These plants have adapted to grow in the extreme conditions of the soil such as acidic pH. Generally, these plants are known to grow in the soil which is deficient in the mineral nutrients due to the presence of acid. The plant can grow in the soil which has low levels of nitrogen.
