Solution

The correct option is A Rafflesia
Parasitic plants cannot perform photosynthesis and obtain nourishment from the host.

Rafflesia is a total root parasite and attaches to the roots of the host plant and draws nourishment.

Cassytha, Loranthus and Viscum are stem parasites that attach to the stem of host plants.
