Solution

The correct option is C Utricularia
Utricularia is a rootless aquatic plant in which the leaf is segmented. They are carnivorous in nature. Some of the segmented leaves are modified to form bladders. Each such bladder is provided with a trap door entrance from which small organisms can enter but they cannot come out from it.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
