Solution

The correct option is A Number of ATPs consumed per hexose molecule
Carbon dioxide fixation of C4 plants require more ATP than the that by
C3 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'.
