The correct answer is: b) Khasi Hills.<\/p>\n

Pitcher plants are an insectivorous plant species that are found in the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya. They are adapted to grow in nutrient-poor soil and obtain their nutrients from insects that they trap in their pitchers. Pitcher plants are found in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: they have a pitcher-like structure that is used to trap insects. The pitcher is usually made up of a modified leaf that is covered in a slippery substance. When an insect lands on the pitcher, it is unable to get back out and is eventually digested by the plant.<\/p>\n

The Khasi Hills are a mountain range in the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India. The hills are home to a variety of plant and animal life, including pitcher plants. The Khasi Hills are also home to a number of indigenous tribes, who have lived in the area for centuries.<\/p>\n
