Solution

The correct option is A Maize
C4 plants are those plants that fix carbon dioxide into four-carbon sugar compound. This first stable 4-carbon compound is mainly oxaloacetic acid. These plants are very efficient in hot, dry climates and make a lot of energy. They are more efficient in photosynthesis than C3 plants. Examples of C4 plants are sugarcane, maize, etc. Hence option A is correct.
