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.
