Solution

The correct option is A Monotropa
Monotropa is not an insectivorous plant but is a saprophytic plant because it feeds by soaking up necessary nutrients from surrounding decaying plant matter. The other given plants i.e. Nepenthes (Pitcher plant), Drosera (Sundews), and Utricularia (Bladderwort) are examples of insectivorous plants.

So, the correct option is 'Monotropa'.
