Solution

The correct option is A Sundew
  • Drosera, commonly known as the sundews, is one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants with at least 194 species.
  • They lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces.
  • Sundews are perennial (or rarely annual) herbaceous plants. Sundews have been shown to be able to achieve a lifespan of 50 years.
So, the correct answer is 'Sundew'.
