The correct option is C Sarracenia
Insectivorous plants are deficient in nitrogen. These adopt a heterotrophic mode of nutrition. These plants supplement their nitrogen supply through catching and digesting small animals like insects. The insects which are trapped is digested by the enzymes which act on the insect protein and convert it into simpler amino acids which are absorbed by the plants to fulfill its nitrogen deficiency.Leaves of Sarracenia has the largest pitcher. It attracts its insect prey with secretions from extrafloral nectaries. The trapped insect is further digested by enzyme proteases.So, the correct answer is option C.
