The Answer Is Loranthus Cus Sundew Is Insectivorous i.e They Feed On Insect(Canivorous) And Autotrophic But Loranthus Just Like Mistletoe They Are Climbing Plant With Their Hautoria Into The Stem Of The Tree(STRAIGHT TO THE XYLEM TO GET WATER AND MINERALS) In Which They Are Climbing. MYSCHOOL LORANTHUS IS THE ANSWER.

A) Sundew: A carnivorous plant. It's autotrophic (photosynthetic) but not parasitic. It traps insects for nutrients, but doesn't live on them.
B) Loranthus: A parasitic plant. It has chlorophyll and can photosynthesize (autotrophic) but also derives nutrients from its host.
C) Rhizopus: A saprophytic fungus. It gets nutrients from dead organic matter, not parasitic.
D) Tapeworm: An endoparasite. It lives inside the host's intestines and is heterotrophic (cannot produce its own food).

Why is the 2012 biology not explained

they are correct, because
all the options are wrong, the most appropriate is sundew

don't forget that it only takes part of its nutrients from insects ie nitrogen
so since they still have green pigment they can manufacture their own food and also get their on water


this is jamb we are talking about most appropriate (ps: you can correct me if I'm wrong)
