Solution

The correct option is A To meet their nitrogen requirements
Insectivorous plants usually grow on soil deficient in nitrogen. So, they feed on insects to meet their nitrogen requirements. In insectivorous plants, generally leaves are modified to trap insects. Example: Pitcher plant, Venus flytrap, etc.
