Solution

The correct option is A Number of ATPs consumed per hexose molecule
Carbon dioxide fixation of $C_{4}$ plants require more ATP than the that by
$C_{3}$ plants. This additional ATP is needed for conversion of pyruvic acid into phosphoenol pyruvic acid and its transport.
So the correct option is 'Number of ATPs consumed per hexose molecule'.
