D Correct answer
Explanation

The Pitcher plant (Nepenthes) and Venus fly trap (Dionaea muscipula) are both carnivorous plants that trap and digest insects. The Touch-me-not plant (Mimosa pudica) responds to touch by folding its leaves but is not carnivorous - it's a movement response, not insect-eating behavior.
