Solution

The correct option is D Pitcher plant
The pitcher plant derives nutrition just the way any other plant does. It takes water and minerals from the soil and food by photosynthesis. But the soil in which it grows doesn’t have nitrogen so it uses the pitcher for killing small insects and then digesting them to derive nitrogen from the animal.
