Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $D$. $Utricularia$,commonly known as the bladderwort,is an insectivorous plant. In this plant,portions of the leaves are modified into sac-like structures called bladders. These bladders act as traps to capture small aquatic insects and microorganisms,which the plant digests to obtain nitrogenous nutrients in nitrogen-deficient environments.
