The correct Answer is:
To determine which pair consists of insectivorous plants, we need to analyze the given options and identify whether each plant in the pair is indeed insectivorous. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Insectivorous Plants**: - Insectivorous plants are those that derive some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming insects. Common examples include plants like Venus flytrap, sundew, and pitcher plants. 2. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option A: Drosera and Valisneria** - Drosera (sundew) is an insectivorous plant. - Valisneria is an aquatic plant and not insectivorous. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. - **Option B: Eutrychloria and Hydrilla** - Eutrychloria is an insectivorous plant. - Hydrilla is also an aquatic plant and not insectivorous. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. - **Option C: Alobendra and Eutrychloria** - Alobendra (likely a misspelling of "Aloe vera") is not typically classified as insectivorous. However, Eutrychloria is insectivorous. - If we consider Eutrychloria alone, it is insectivorous, but the other plant is not. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect based on the assumption that Alobendra is not insectivorous. - **Option D: Rafflesia and Dionea** - Rafflesia is a parasitic plant and does not trap insects for nutrients. - Dionea (Venus flytrap) is an insectivorous plant. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 3. **Final Assessment**: - After evaluating all options, it appears that none of the pairs listed consist of two insectivorous plants. However, if we consider Eutrychloria as a valid insectivorous plant, the best pair would be Eutrychloria with any other insectivorous plant, but that option is not provided. ### Correct Answer: - None of the provided options consist of a pair of insectivorous plants.
