Solution

The correct option is A True
Loranthus is a partially parasitic plant because it doesn't obtain food from the host. Instead, it absorbs water from the host and with the help of sunlight, synthesizes it's own food.
On the other hand, a plant that is completely dependent on the host for its nutrition is known as parasitic.
