Solution

The correct option is A

Nitrogen


Pitcher plants usually grow in areas deficient in nitrogen. Nitrogen is an important component required by plants. These plants are green and make their food by photosynthesis but to meet their nitrogen needs, they feed on insects. Hence, they are also referred to as partial parasites.
