Solution

The correct option is C Dischidia
  1. Insectivorous plants are the plants that trap the insects and withdraws the nutrition by breaking the proteins from the insects. Drosera (sundew plant), Dionea (Venus flytrap) and Pinguicula are common insectivorous plants.
  2. Dischidia is an epiphyte. An epiphyte is an organism that grows on the surface of a plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water or debris accumulating around it.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
