Correct:
A
Explanation
Nepenthes, commonly known as the tropical pitcher plant, is a well-known genus of insectivorous (carnivorous) plants. These plants typically grow in nitrogen-deficient soils. To supplement their nutrient requirements, especially nitrogen, they have evolved specialized leaves shaped like pitchers. These pitchers contain digestive fluid that breaks down trapped insects.
The other options are not insectivorous:
- Nelumbo is the genus for the lotus, which is an aquatic plant.
- Nyctanthes includes species like Nyctanthes arbor-tristis (Parijat or Night-flowering Jasmine).
- Nicotiana is the genus of herbaceous plants and shrubs in the family Solanaceae, famously including the tobacco plant.
