Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B

The leaves have long pointed hair

C

The leaf is divided into two having midrib in between like a hinge

The leaves of venus flytrap are hinged, meaning they can open and shut, like a door. Inside the leaves are short, firm hair. The edges of the leaves are lined with long, hair-like growths that look like eyelashes. When the leaves snap shut, the hairs mesh together, acting like bars in a prison cell.
