Solution

The correct option is C Pitcher plant
Plants that feed upon insects to obtain nutrients are termed as insectivorous plants. Usually, these plants are photosynthetic. But they grow in nitrogen deficient soil. In order to fulfill their nitrogen requirements, they trap and digest insects. Example: Pitcher plant and Venus flytrap.
