The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks what insectivorous plants generally contain. Insectivorous plants are those that derive some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming insects. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Nectary glands - B) Osmophores - C) Digestive glands - D) Hydathodes 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A: Nectary Glands**: These glands produce nectar, which attracts pollinators. They are not specifically related to insectivorous plants, as these plants do not rely on nectar for nutrition. - **Option B: Osmophores**: These are glands that produce scents, typically floral scents, to attract pollinators. They are not relevant to the nutrient acquisition of insectivorous plants. - **Option C: Digestive Glands**: These glands are crucial for insectivorous plants as they secrete enzymes that help digest the insects they capture, allowing the plant to absorb nutrients. - **Option D: Hydathodes**: These structures are involved in the secretion of water and are found in many plants, but they do not play a role in the nutrition of insectivorous plants. 4. **Determine the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the only option that is directly related to the function of insectivorous plants is **Option C: Digestive Glands**. These glands are essential for breaking down the insects that the plants consume. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that insectivorous plants generally contain **Digestive Glands**. ---
