Answer 2

Answer :

Option (C)

The plants that serve as parasite extract the nutrients from the host without benefitting the later. In general, Cuscuta wraps itself around the host and produces haustoria that helps Cuscuta to insert itself into the vasculature of the host. It serves as a parasite on potatoes, alfalfa, dahlia and flax.
