The correct option is A
True
Pitcher plant modify it's leaf to form a jug-like structure known as a pitcher. And the apex of the leaf forms a lid which can open and close the mouth of the pitcher.
When an insect lands in the pitcher, the lid closes and the insect is trapped.
This insect is then digested by the digestive juices secreted in the pitcher.
