Solution
The correct option is A Cuscuta
Cuscuta is a parasitic plant. These plants do not contain chlorophyll. Instead, they grow on other living plants and obtain nutrients from them.
Drosera and utricularia are insectivorous plants. They have chlorophyll pigment in their leaves and can produce their own food. But they feed on insects to fulfil their nitrogen requirements.
China rose has chlorophyll in their leaves. It is an autotrophic plant and can produce its own food.
