Solution

The correct option is D
Cuscuta in group I should be interchanged with pitcher plant in group II

Group 1 consists of venus flytrap, Sundews, and Cuscuta. Here, venus flytrap and Sundews are insectivorous plants, whereas, Cuscuta is parasitic in nature.

Group 2 consists of a pitcher plant, Australian christmas tree and Rafflesia. Here, pitcher plant is insectivorous but Australian christmas tree and Rafflesia are parasitic plants.

Group 3 consists of algae, tomato plant, and Bougainvillea. Here, all the three are autotrophic plants.

Thus if the position of the Cuscuta and pitcher plant is interchanged then all the groups will have the same type of plants.
