Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

All the plants listed are insectivorous (carnivorous), meaning they trap and digest insects to obtain essential nutrients like nitrogen, which are often lacking in their native soils:

Bladderwort (Utricularia): An aquatic or semi-aquatic plant that uses specialized, vacuum-like bladder traps to suck in tiny water organisms.

Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula): A terrestrial plant with modified leaves that act as snap traps, closing quickly when sensitive trigger hairs are touched by prey.

Nepenthes (Pitcher Plant): A plant that uses pitcher-shaped leaves as pitfall traps. Insects are lured by nectar and fall into a pool of digestive enzymes at the bottom.
