Solution

The correct option is D Rafflesia
One important criteria that sets plants apart from other living organisms is their ability to photosynthesise.

Cuscuta and rafflesia are plants that cannot perform photosynthesis. They are parasitic on other plants and depend on them for their nutrition. Hence these plants are considered to be exceptions to the plant kingdom.
