Solution

The correct option is D Pitcher plant
Grass, rose plant and mango tree are the examples of producers since they make their own food.
Consumers are living organisms that feed on other organisms, either a plant or an animal.
Now pitcher plant can make its own food, therefore it's a producer. In addition, pitcher plants trap and consume insects to fulfill their nutrient requirements. Hence pitcher plant is both a producer and consumer.
