E) If the assertion is false but reason is true
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The leaf or lamina is modified to form a large pitcher in Dischidia, Nepenthes and Sarracenia. In epiphytic Dischidia the whole leaf is changed into an open pitcher for storing rain water. In Nepenthes and Sarracenia the pitchers are meant for catching and digesting insects.
