Solution
The correct option is B C4
This plant is a C4 plant. C4 plants are special as they have a special type of leaf anatomy called Kranz Anatomy. They can tolerate higher temperatures, they show a response to high intensities of light, they lack a wasteful process called photorespiration and they have improved efficiency of nitrogen utilization. Most of the plants that are adapted to dry tropical regions have the C4 pathway and are known as C4 plants. In these plants, double fixation of carbon dioxide occurs.So, the correct answer is 'C4'.
