A pair of insectivore’s plant is B) Nepenthes and Bladderwort.

Explanation:  

Generally all plants are considered to be autotrophs that are they prepare their ‘own food’ through a process of photosynthesis. This ‘process’ is possible by the plant only through the presence of a pigment called the ‘chlorophyll’.  

This chlorophyll is absent in certain plants that make them depend on ‘other organisms’ for food. Insectivore’s plants are one such plant that depend on other organisms.
