The correct statements are:

Correct option is C

Correct Answer: (c)
Explanation: Nepenthes is a carnivorous plant with pitcher-shaped modified leaves whose lid covers the opening. It secretes a sweet-smelling substance that attracts insects. When insects or small animals fall inside, they are trapped and digested. However, it is not found in cold deserts like Ladakh and Russia; it mainly grows in tropical regions. Therefore, statements A, B and D are correct.
Additional Information: • Statement A is correct because the leaf forms a pitcher structure. • Statement B is correct as scent helps attract prey. • Statement C is incorrect due to wrong habitat mentioned. • Statement D is correct as it is insectivorous.
