Higher yield in case of bell pepper can be achieved by growing them in CO2 enriched greenhouses.
Reason: Due to higher intracellular CO2 concentration in bundle sheath cells, RuBisCO mainly acts as carboxylating enzyme.

Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect The assertion is correct as higher yields of bell pepper is obtained when grown in carbon dioxide enriched greenhouses. The correct reason would be 'due to the increase in carbon dioxide, the rate of fixation of carbon dioxide increases which results in a higher concentration of photosynthetic products and hence, there is a higher yield.
So the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
